You did not tell us why you want to run 2.6.32 on CentOS 5.4. I assume
you are aware of backporting and 2.6.18 is not the same as vanilla
kernel 2.6.18.

Having said that, if you really, really need to run/build such a new
kernel, I advice you read through this CentOS forum thread in its
entirety:

Thanks, Akemi. I really want to try the fs-cache feature to make an nfs caching proxy. It would be a godsend.

I was wondering whether the standard "make oldconfig" would work when making a version jump this large.  Are my drivers likely to break?
