RHEL kernel/version mapping

Hey guys I'm looking for a website that lists which kernel version maps to which RHEL release. IBM (of all people) used to have such a list but it hasn't been updated since RHEL 4. Thanks.

From wikipedia, these are the versions that are not EOL.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (Nahant), 2005-02-15. Uses Linux 2.6.9
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (Tikanga), 2007-03-14. Uses Linux 2.6.18
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (Santiago), 2010-11-10 Uses Linux 2.6.32

These kernels won't resemble what comes from kernel.org though, as Red Hat backports tons of fixes and patches from newer kernels into these kernels.

Thanks. What IBM had went down to the update level, e.g. "RHEL4 Update 4", etc. For example 2.6.9-34.x is RHEL4 Update 3 while 2.6.9-42.x is RHEL4 Update 4.

I'm looking for something where I can take the kernel subversion (e.g. 2.6.32-200) and find which RHEL release it maps to.

Yeah. Here's the IBM page I happened to stumble upon years ago:
»www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux···2.6.html

It's a shame they're not keeping it updated. I was hoping something else like this was out there.
