I thought I installed the source, but I guess it just puts a linux-2.6.9.tar.bz2 file in your /usr/src/redhat/SOURCE file...which I assume you have to upack and move to the /usr/src file...If this works I'll give a heads up if it does I will be asking for help again.

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.
