why it should not?

if you do not need any particular driver not included into vanilla kernel...

looking at the rhas kernel src rpm, there's alot of patches
made into the kernel, i'm not sure if i use the plain vanilla
kernel tarball would i disable some kernel options and
"cripple" any of the RH's advance server's functionality(s).

has anyone use RHAS in a cluster environment with manual
upgrading of kernel to perhaps 2.4.20, and everything goes
well on the AS functionalities/add-ons?

well you will miss some of the cluster stuff; afaik IPVS isn't merged in
2.4.20 yet.

I've noticed this kicking about on people.redhat.com, which contains
patches and configs against 2.4.20 so you can brew a 2.4.20 rpm.

http://people.redhat.com/laroche/kernel-2.4.20-2.1.23.ent.src.rpm.tar.gz

It may provide a useful starting point to work out what you want to add
to 2.4.20 for RHAS, however I haven't used this in a production
environment so usual disclaimers apply :)
