Actually, AFAIK, OEL5 remains at kernel 2.6.18 even in update 5. However, if you choose to use the new Oracle Unbreakable Kernel - a separate channel in ULN - you will get a much newer kernel based on 2.6.32 with specific changes related to infiniband, SSD storage and more efficient "RPC" calls (SPD?). Everything is still supposed to run as-is and binary compat with RedHat remains.
