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.
