I have been running Centos 4.5 on one of my servers and have a custom kernel to handle some hardware issues.
Wonder what hardware issues...
I had an Nforce mb with onboard NIC that wasn't working at Gigabit speed was the primary reason I custom built kernel 2.6.20-1 if I recall.
So I haven't done a yum upgrade yet because I know I had to custom build some packages to work with 2.6.20 and I'm afraid those ones will get overwritten.

Well, that would be a bit of work if you have other packages to take care of for each kernel update. I suppose upgrading to CentOS 5 is not an option for you? If your NIC is supported in C5, it might be a better solution in the long run. I have a couple of nforce 430 + onboard NIC systems running the C5 distro kernel and they work at gigabit speed.
