Just FYI, you might run into support issues with stock
kernel.org kernels.  If you really need a newer kernel than
what RHEL/CentOS provides, try rebuilding from SRPM
(.src.rpm) from Red Hat Rawhide (aka Fedora Development):

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/SRPMS/

E.g., the latest just release today is 2.6.14-1.1788:  

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.14-1.1788_FC5.src.rpm

Rawhide has been pretty good on offering the latest
kernel.org developments, plus Cox's patches and other patches
merged to make it Red Hat'ish.  Of course, there may be other
pre-requisites -- something kernel.org tarballs won't tell
you.
