I don't use the custom kernels at all but I would assume it is a reason. Why not just install regular kernel? Why did you even use their kernel in the install process
Is that a vps or a dedicated? if is dedicated, you should be able to install linux, using your iso via IPMI.
If it was my choice I wouldn't even use OVH in the first place , its a server belonging to a person I know and he wanted r1soft installed.
Can I just install the regular CentOS 6.7 kernel without causing issues? he has cPanel installed and plenty of data which he already lost a few days ago and had to rebuild as he restarted the server and forgot he was configured MYSQl to store everything in the ramdisk.
Yes it should be fine. Lucky you have CentOS 6 and not 7. I spent a few days figuring that out:) If you need assistance though I can help you out for a small fee.
Check if you can boot your server on a rescue distrib in case you have to edit system files outside the OS.
You can install the regular kernel and configure grub to boot on the new kernel.
If something goes wrong just boot on the rescue distrib and roll back modifications in grub.
