RHEL 5 uses kernel 2.6.18-164 while the latest prebuilt kernel containing OpenVZ is based on kernel 2.6.18-128.2.1.
Are you waiting on posting an update to the repository for technical reasons?
I generally like to keep up to date with RHEL. Any estimate when the kernel will be updated?

Red Hat typically backports the updates, security fixes and other enhancements to the kernels they release, do not let the version number be your only guide. It is a bit like comparing red apples to green apples, see;

http://www.redhat.com/security/updat...g/?sc_cid=3093

With that said one can use the updated kernels from Fedora Core 6;

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...ore/updates/6/

Get the list of your installed kernel packages; rpm -qa --qf="%{n}-%{v}-%{r}.%{arch}n" 'kernel*'
Download
the matching updated kernel rpm packages and install them; rpm -ivh kernel*.rpm
