I want to upgrade a 5.4 box with the 2.618 kernel to a shiny new 2.6.32 kernel. Anyone done it? Is it possible? Are there gotcha's to watch out for? Any advice is appreciated.

I assume you are aware of backporting and 2.6.18 is not the same as vanilla kernel 2.6.18. Having said that, if you really, really need to run/build such a new kernel, I advice you read through this CentOS forum thread in its entirety: https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=23627&forum=37 (Note: custom kernels are not supported by CentOS) Akemi
