To view the changelog for patches and BZs Applied to the kernel or any rpm. As in load up the newest one and run the command. I see a lot of changes between the newest one and the one (194.3.1) that you tried and said solved it. I would creep on up in versions to the newest one you can run with out the problem then file a bug report with a good description of the problem and type of hardware also (i think important for your problem).
Egad - on the CentOS mirror I checked (USC), there are no kernels between 194.3.1 and 194.8.1.
Sun May 02 2010 Jiri Pirko jpirko@redhat.com [2.6.18-194.3.1.el5] Well that one you have. Why do you have it? Because I guess an @CentOS.org Hat decided to build that one while all the other ones were plain out skipped in-between? My ohh my the Heart and Soul was forgotten. All of 4 - FOUR of them.
Effectively your stuck with the one you got that works or you have to learn to build your own from the red hat sources.
If I just build kernels from the Linux archives, would those just work as-is under CentOS? I haven't actually done that in a while, but if it's moderately safe using the "standard" spec files....
Maybe so be carefull. So insightfully what I do for my precious customers on CentOS is I actually build the updates from the RH Sources to keep them happy because some do like to plunder about when are updates coming out.
Maybe the cache directory eatted them up?

---- UPDATE !
Replying to my self those you see missing are not on Red Hats Public Mirror Site so evidently those are not built to go in CentOs.
I presume those come out in the fastrack repository? Can someone correct me here if I am wrong.
So effectively they not missing in action as I thought. Sorry Now they would be a nice inclusion.
