Building and installing the RT kernel is a bit involving. If what is
needed is a newer version of kernel, I suggest giving ELRepo's
kernel-ml a try:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-ml

It is the kernel from kernel.org built for EL5. There are 2.6.35 (long
term support) and 2.6.38 (latest stable) kernels available at this
moment.  I should note, however, that they are not for production use.
