I almost always use the latest stock kernel, with one memorable exception. I had a laptop which would not boot until I unplugged it and removed the battery. The reason was a faulty mouse driver, and the fix was to remove the mouse driver module prior to shutdown. The problem was that the mouse driver was compiled into the kernel. So I used the SRPM, changed the option to install the mouse driver as a module and recompiled. Following the directions on the Centos wiki was pretty easy. c
