I want to upgrade a 5.4 box with the 2.618 kernel to a shiny new 2.6.32 kernel. Anyone done it? Is it possible? Are there gotcha's to watch out for?

Any advice is appreciated. A link to a decent howto would be awesome.

You did not tell us why you want to run 2.6.32 on CentOS 5.4. I assume you are aware of backporting and 2.6.18 is not the same as vanilla kernel 2.6.18.

Having said that, if you really, really need to run/build such a new kernel, I advice you read through this CentOS forum thread in its entirety:

(Note: custom kernels are not supported by CentOS)
