More precicely these are the currently supported kernels:

2.6.18-8.el5 2.6.18-8.1.1.el5 2.6.18-8.1.3.el5 2.6.18-8.1.4.el5
2.6.18-8.1.6.el5 2.6.18-8.1.8.el5 2.6.18-8.1.10.el5 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5
2.6.18-8.1.15.el5 2.6.18-53.el5 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 2.6.18-53.1.6.el5
2.6.18-53.1.13.el5 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5.centos.plus
2.6.18-53.1.6.el5.centos.plus
2.6.18-2.6.18-53.1.6_1.el5.cubbi_suspend2
2.6.18-53.1.6_0.99.el5.cubbi_suspend2_8k

2.6.9-42.0.3.EL 2.6.9-42.0.8.EL 2.6.9-42.0.10.EL 2.6.9-55.EL
2.6.9-55.0.2.EL 2.6.9-55.0.6.EL 2.6.9-55.0.9.EL 2.6.9-55.0.12.EL
2.6.9-55.0.14.EL 2.6.9-67.EL 2.6.9-67.0.1.EL 2.6.9-67.0.4.EL
2.6.9-55.0.16.EL 2.6.9-67.0.4.plus.c4 2.6.9-55.0.12.plus.c4

2.4.21-47.0.1.EL 2.4.21-50.EL 2.4.21-51.EL 2.4.21-52.EL 2.4.21-53.EL

2.6.25-0.105.rc5.fc9

2.6.24.3-12.fc8 2.6.23.14-107_1.cubbi_tuxonice.fc8
2.6.23.9-85_0.99.cubbi_tuxonice_8k.fc8
2.6.24.3-13_1.cubbi_tuxonice.fc8

2.6.23.15-80.fc7 2.6.23.8-34_1.cubbi_tuxonice.fc7
2.6.23.8-34_0.99.cubbi_tuxonice_8k.fc7
2.6.23.15-80_1.cubbi_tuxonice.fc7

As you can see there are a coule more kernels always in support, but
the rule of thumb is for non RHEL kernels only the last one or few
kernels.

Why not use the ieee1394 kmdls instead and use the "vendor" kernel?
