It can be done, but it takes some work.  RH throws in so many patches
against the native kernel source that getting a clean re-build can be
difficult.

I believe the last time I tried it was on RHEL3, which was effectively
Redhat Linux 9.    Perhaps it's a bit better now.   I'm quite certain
that if it is, someone will come forward with instructions.

Are you just trying to optimize the kernel, or do you need additional
hardware support?
