Unless you mean that CentOS provides 586 kernels, even if RH doesn't.
In any case, I think it needs clarification.
Apparently Centos recompiles it for 586. I figured that they would have the same limitation in this regard than Redhat.
That is why I proposed a clarification. I don't have any RH machines here, and every one I used in the past 2 years were 686+, so I could not verify it.
Since it would be either a misinterpretation of what redhat distributes, or CentOS building for i586, I got confusing, at least for me.
At work we still have to use Redhat, due to customer requirements.
I really can't see anyone paying for RHEL and using it on outdated hardware. Of course I might be wrong here, and I'm sure there are some exceptions. Maybe test boxes. In any case, I can understand why RH doesn't ship 586- kernels.
