What is hard to understand is if I take the same EXACT kernel Centos take, which I assume is available, and I compile everything Centos compiles in, except I compile some hardware in the kernel rather than modularize it (as Centos does), how exactly is that going to break functionality? How exactly is removing ext2 (if it is included in Centos default compilation) from the kernel is going to break Centos if I don't ever use ext2?
I told you where to get the kernels and how to compile it in a different post ...
Look in the SRPMS directory in the os or update trees for the latest update set, or in http://vault.centos.org/ for older versions.
Every kernel we have released has it's SRPM there.
I also pointed you to the release notes ... search for "kernel source":
