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:

Thanks, Akemi. I really want to try the fs-cache feature to make an nfs caching proxy. It would be a godsend.
I was wondering whether the standard "make oldconfig" would work when making a version jump this large. Are my drivers likely to break?
