And have heard from others that the preferred way to build RH kernels now is to rebuild an rpm using the src rpm. Which I have never done, but I have been making custom RH kernels since 6.2 or so. Always using the kernel-devel package?
There is a process for getting the patched kernel source out of the .src.rpm (although you'll probably need a Centos system, or one in VMWare/Xen/etc)

If you like I could probably make you a tarball of that and provide it for you.
