Is there anything special I have to do to use a vanilla kernel
on a Centos 5.1 machine? Nothing special hardware (except for
the TV card), /boot and / on software RAID 1.

The centos 2.6.18 kernel is build with 1084 (!) patches,
I assume they are there for a reason.

I stopped doing kernel compilations around RedHat 9...
