I'm running S.L. 5.6 on a few machines, and have grown somewhat dependent on it. However, there are features in the kernel that comes with 6.2 (like USB3) which I would like to have.
Is it possible to upgrade just the kernel and associated modules and "miscellaneous"? I assume this is tricky, and fraught with dangers, and the usual cautions (make backups, work on a copy of the disk, tweak yum updates so they won't regress the 2.6.32 kernel, etc) apply. For now, I just want to know whether this is worthy of further consideration, or instead I should set aside a few weeks to upgrade everything then rebuild a lot of poorly written custom apps.
