Karl: Would you like to update the github PR ? Or should someone else pick up the kernel update work?
Thanks,

Sure, I will update the PR in the next few days.Karl
I've updated my PR and tested a build, it boots well:
[root@node-tmp1 ~]# cat /proc/version
Linux version 4.9.165-35.el6.x86_64 (mockbuild@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-23) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Sat Mar 23 14:44:16 EDT 2019
Linux version 4.9.165-35.el6.x86_64 (mockbuild@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-23) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Sat Mar 23 14:44:16 EDT 2019
Test rpms: https://repo.aerisnetwork.com/archive/
Anthony will be able to build it on the CBS as devtoolset has been removed from the spec.
