You still can't boot your own kernel...

  "yum install kernel" then modify grub.conf?

    Nope. DigitalOcean's has been ignoring customer requests about this for 18 months on this: https://digitalocean.uservoice.com/forums/136585-digital-ocean/suggestions/2814988-give-option-to-use-the-droplet-s-own-bootloader-?page=1&per_page=20 https://digitalocean.uservoice.com/forums/136585-digital-oce... It's really hard to take them seriously when you have to wait patiently for kernel updates that include critical security fixes.

  What are some use cases that you have for running your own kernel? I just can't think of much need of running a custom kernel. There's a lot of different kernel versions to choose from. For subsystems like process scheduling, you can just load your own kernel module to change that.

    Their kernels are all months out of date. And besides, I want to install updates as they are released by my distribution, rather than have to wait around for my host to get their arse in gear.
