If going with 10g and a 2.6 kernel I deeply suggest not to set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL or at least to unset it after installation.

The system is going to be more stable thanks to natix posix thread library, especially on RAC.

I have only SLES here and I can't demostrate the differences on redhat.

But you can do a check (a simple ps -fe|grep tnslsnr) on the differences between a listener started with and without LS_ASSUME_KERNEL (check even the libraries used with lsof).
