I'm running 2.5.67 on an otherwise mostly-RH9, and it works fine modulo the usual issues with bleeding-edge kernels. I've only hit two issues that are at all redhat specific:
1) Get Rusty's module tools (but you knew that). If you install them right, they'll DTRT if you boot a 2.4 kernel too (keep the RH kernel around just in case. ;)
2) You'll need this work-around for modules, probably:

(or some other similar work-around for /proc/ksyms not being in 2.5 kernels) [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | ![\](/images/icornerr.gif) |
