    Everything you could possibly want to do with the source rpm is built
    into rpm/rpmbuild. Untarring, patching, configuring, compiling,
    packaging. Read the manual pages.

    However, if you just want to build a new kernel from source the package
    you want is kernel-sourcecode-2.6.6-1.435.noarch.rpm. It'll put the 435
    kernel into /usr/src/linux-2.6.6-1.435/ where you can go about
    configuring and compiling it, just like you would with an untarred
    kernel source from kernel.org.

    The kernel-*.src.rpm is meant for building a binary kernel package.

    Cheers
    Steffen.
