Is it possible to run a Centos 6.5's kernel on a Centos 5.10 installation? I have compiled a new kernel from kernel-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.src.rpm. The kernel does not even boot on my Centos 5.10 box. Vanilla kernels from kernel.org work well. Is this about Red Hat kernel patches?
Cheers, Mark

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.

This is completely unexpected and untested, you're lucky that it even built. I agree with Keith, better using something from a LTS tree then.
