Also the problem with compiling a new kernel is that the vanilla configuration may not work for you and configuring kernel options can be pretty daunting at first and even with each new version new stuff keeps piling in.
I took the existing config (from /boot/config...) and then ran make oldconfig < /dev/null
(which may not have been optimal, but it seemed to work :-))
It may build fine but that kernel would not boot. :-) Details here:

Anyway, elaborating configs is not an easy task. So, if you need something that works for CentOS-5/6, stealing one from kernel-ml will be the way to go (thanks, Alan). :-P
