I just had a look at the rhel6 kernel source, and it looks like this is going to be troublesome for i586 support. It generates configuration files on the fly (?) and doesn't include an i586 config file by default--defunct or not. I imagine, but don't know for certain, that the preapplied patches may make things difficult too. I hope someone more familiar with the kernel than I can look into this and tell me I'm wrong, but until then, I'll be focusing my efforts on C5.
Cody,
If you really want to play with c6, grab one of the centosplus kernels for c6 from here:
http://centos.toracat.org/kernel/centos6/centosplus-testing/SRPMS/
These kernels have familiar kernel config files. :)
Also, you can find a "howto" on the c6 kernel here:
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=4586
The first 3 notes will help you with customization.
Good luck,
Akemi
