Just from a brief look around the web it seems that CentOS 5 (aka RHEL 
5) uses (needs?) kernel 2.6.18.

I've ported the current OpenSSI stuff up to kernel 2.6.14 so far.

I've tried 2.6.15, but it hangs at boot and I haven't had time to figure 
out why.

Stan Smith was working on 2.6.18, but he seems to have burned out and 
given up.  The last message from him on the subject said:

"Kernel builds and starts to boot until all threads/procs end up 
sleeping; I suspect signal delivery is broken due to changes for pid --> 
struct pid."
