  If you're building a kernel on a Red Hat system and want to make a
  kernel RPM, you need to learn how to build RPMs and compile them
  as SRPMs. 
 
  If you don't mind not having your kernel in your RPM database you
  can just download a kernel source from kernel.org and build it 
  from wherever.... /usr/src/linux isn't a "magic place" or anything.
