Hey everyone,
I currently have deployed a number of SL 5.2 i386 machines.
Mark,
Further to my earlier message, I have re-read your initial sentence above.
A SL 5.2 system will be using a kernel from the 2.6.18-92.x.y.el5
series.
It is possible to update any SL5.x system to the latest kernel
that is available, so you should be able to get around that.
i.e. I am running kernels from the 5.4 series on 5.3 systems all the
time and did 5.3 on 5.2 also.

Unfortunately the kmod-nvidia[-*] packages that are available
from ELRepo, although being kABI tracking, will only weak-link back to
the 2.6.18-128.x.y.el5 kernel series (i.e. SL 5.3) and not, like many
of the other packages, back to the original 2.6.18-8.x.y.el5 kernels.
So having raised your hopes, I now have to dash them. Sorry.
Regards,
Alan.
