That package contains the full kernel sources. It's a source RPM package, so installing it just unpacks it into your RPM build environment and will not affect the RPM database at all, hence it won't show in "rpm -qa". A guide to tweaking the kernel package can be found at: http://oak.cats.ohiou.edu/~hobbsk/kernel-compilation-tutorial-en/steps.html Paul.
