I'm running 6.0 on my desktop machine, but given that EMC is so
closely tied to kernel 2.0.36 and the 2.2 kernels that ship with
Redhat 6.0 are drastically different, I would not attempt the upgrade,
even if you were to keep the old kernel. I will say I succesfully
booted a redhat 6.0 installation with a 2.0.36 kernal hacked for
realtime, but it was an accident due to misuse of lilo, so I didn't
spend much time seeing if anything was broken in that configuration.
