There's also the RH eMRG rt kernel which is built on substantially newer sources.  \
You'll need to rebuild it yourself (make an RPM build tree, do rpm -i on the source \
RPM, rpmbuild -ba on the specfile): \
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/RHEMRG/SRPMS/kernel-rt-2.6.33.7-rt29.47.el5rt.src.rpm


Then you have a kernel that has those newer features and has the integration testing \
with the other versions of packages installed on the system; using the yum local \
install, you can get automatic depsolving, too, just in case it has odd dependencies.

Or you could get the newer Oracle kernel built for Oracle's RHEL rebuild.  Vanilla \
isn't always best.  Sometimes you want chocolate, or butter pecan.  Some might joke \
that RHEL's kernel is rocky road..... and others might call it heavenly hash.

Either way, it can be had for CentOS 5 without a whole lot of pain, and in a package \
system friendly manner.
