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: https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=23627&forum=37 (Note: custom kernels are not supported by CentOS) Akemi
