I'm not sure what the Centos plan is for a release based on RHEL6 but in
the past they had kernels that match the usual SL5 ones but with more
drivers enabled under the "centosplus" repository.  The repository here
works fine for SL5.5:
[centosplus]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Plus
#mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=centosplus
baseurl=http://mirror.anl.gov/centos/5.5/centosplus/$basearch
includepkgs=kernel*
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5

Of course you need to do some excludes in the usual SL repos.
