There is actually a reasonably-legitimate reason to want such a kernel, perhaps even an i386 version, which is the ability to boot thin clients with LTSP. It can, of course boot a different kernel than the server runs, but it needs to be something maintainable (i.e. already being maintained...) and kept in sync with the rest of the system. https://fedorahosted.org/k12linux/wiki/EL6Status -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
