I am running Centos 4.6 wit latest updates. For I/O multipathing I need to use kernel 2.6.9-55 (IBM support matrix). Trying to compile Engenio Linux RDAC Driver[0]
I fail to install kernel-devel for this exact kernel (with up2date). Up2date always installs the newest.

Either install the 2.6.9-55 kernel-devel package. You can provide the version number with yum install. Or just use the latest kernel. In the past I've run the RDAC modules on so called "not-supported" kernels. Usually newer kernels then the one mentioned. I never had any issues with it.
