Mario,

I believe you are in the wrong directory.  According to the output below, your
directory prompt reads :

[root at tux 2.6.9-5.0.3.EL-i686]

This suggests that you are in /usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-5.0.3.EL-i686 not
/usr/src/linux-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL

Try this:

1. cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL
2. cp configs/kernel-2.6.9-i686.config .
3. make menuconfig (configure kernel)
4. make clean
5. make rpm
6. install RPM
7. edit grub config if needed

Hope this helps,
Barry
