[WBEL-users] Re: Kernel rebuilding - I'm having a blonde moment...

[Edwards, Scott (GE Healthcare)]

I'm not sure that will work anymore since they discontinued the
kernel-sourcecode rpm (that is how I used to do it).

I am wondering if you could modify or replace the 
kernel-2.6.9-i686.config file in the /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
directory (after you have installed the kernel.X.X.X-XX.src.rpm)
or which ever config file you want to change (there are many).

DISCLAIMER: I haven't actually tried this myself, yet.

I've never done this myself, but seems like something along the lines 
of ...

cd /usr/src/kernels/your-kernel-here
[ config file change method of you choice... ]
make rpm-pkg

?
