Hi all,
I only unserstand some basics of kernel compiling. I understand that the kernel source RPM comes with some configs for compiling the kernel. What I would like to know is: Is the kernel binary RPM compiled with one of the configs which are present in the kernel source RPM ?
on a fresh system, there's a good chance that the associated config file is actually in /boot, with the name config-<whatever version>. at least, that's a good place to start.

p.s. the 2.6 kernel comes with a config option to bury the config file inside the actual kernel itself. IIRC, to get at that file, you'd use a utility called extract-ikconfig.
