At this point I would like to point out that you should not be doing
things like compiling kernels as root, let alone writing your own files
into /usr/src. So I would recommend that once you have installed the
kernel-sourcecode package, you switch back to a normal user and use:
cd ~ (or /tmp whatever)
cp -r /usr/src/linux-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL .
cd linux-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL
cp configs/kernel-2.6.9-i686.config .config
make oldconfig
make menuconfig
etc...
(Note, untested on CentOS-4. Perhaps someone could confirm). Regarding
the kernel-sourcecode dependencies, many of them look optional and might
be easily ignored with --nodeps. Be warned however... if you are
having problems it might be best just to install them.
