According to the reseller of the product we wanted to upgrade, this

As does Red Hat. :-)
Absolutely, but why would Red Hat *not* support an upgrade and also give
the possibility to do it??
Back in june, I warned my colleagues that doing so wasn't the safest
way. Then the software reseller recently did a documentation explicitly
detailing an upgrade from 5.x to 6.x as a working solution, I thought
they've been doing extensive tests on this.
They probably just saw that the official RHEL6 installer had an upgrade
option, tested on a basic RHEL5 installation, saw that the server was
rebooting correctly and thought that everything was OK.
They are to blame but I think Red Hat shouldn't allow something
unsupported and clearly broken!
