Sure but please refrain from HTML and top-posting.

Download the kernel.src.rpm. Install (rpm -ivh *src.rpm)
In /usr/src/redhat/SPECS is "kernel-2.6.spec"
Change the top to:
%define buildup 0
%define buildsmp 0
%define buildsource 1
%define builddoc 0
>From the SPECS directory, do "rpmbuild -bb kernel*spec"
This will create the customary source.rpm
in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch. Install and customize as usual.

This SOUNDS far more complex than it really is.
