Look at SPECS/kernel-2.2.spec for how redhat builds its kernel.
If you want to make a custom kernel you have 3 choices:
1) download stock 2.2.16 and do it on your own.
2) Use redhat srpm: take the patches you like from SOURCES (look at the
spec file for the order in which they are applied) and do it on your own
3) Use redhat srpm and follow their method:
a) rpm -bp SPEC/...
b) go in BUILD/linux and make menuconfig, personalize
c) copy .config to SOURCES/kernel-2.2.16-i586.config or the appropriate
config file
d) edit SPECS/... and change release from 3 to 3.mine
e) rpm -ba SPECS/...
you'll end up with all the custom kernel rpms, the kernel will be:
2.2.16-3.mine
