Depending on what sort of VM system the data centre uses, it is possible
to have a non-standard kernel.  This is my VPS (CentOS 4.8):

sauron.deepsoft.com% ssh sharky.deepsoft.com cat /etc/redhat-release 
CentOS release 4.8 (Final)
sauron.deepsoft.com% ssh sharky.deepsoft.com uname -r
2.6.18-194.17.1.el5.028stab070.7

*I* don't have control over the kernel -- this is set up as part of the
virtual machine setup, by the people I am renting the VPS from.
