Is it possible to run a Centos 6.5's kernel on a Centos 5.10 installation?
If you are looking to run a more recent kernel on CentOS 5, check out elrepo. You can run either the long term support kernel or the mainline (stable) kernel. Here's a link to the long term kernel (which has a link to the mainline kernel):
http://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-lt
(Actually, you can only get the lt kernel for CentOS 5, but that's still 3.2 as opposed to 2.6.)
I think it makes more sense to do this than to try to force a CentOS 6 kernel into CentOS 5.
