This is fine for the old days, but there are new methods for doing this if you're just rebuilding the stock x86_64 kernel rpm
The short answer is-> rpm -i kernel-2.6.9-34.src.rpm rpmbuild -bp $BUILDDIR/SPECS/kernel.spec --target=x86_64
this will give you the patched kernel tree
edit the appropriate config in $BUILDDIR/SOURCES/config-2.6.9-34x86_64 rpmbuild -bs $BUILDDIR/SPECS/kernel.spec --target=x86_64 to rebuild the src.rpm with your changes
rpmbuild --rebuild $BUILDDIR/SRPMS/kernel-blah --target=x86_64
then install the new kernel rpms.
That's off the top of my head, there may be a typo or two, but that's the right direction.
