this is not quite correct; rather that messing with the kernel SRPM,  
you should also be able to pull down the kernel-source RPM:

yum -y install kernel-source

this will create /usr/src/linux-<kernel version>, which contains the  
kernel source.

this doc is old, but you may be able to compile a custom kernel using  
a similar procedure:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/custom-guide/s1- 
custom-kernel-modularized.html

but i'd add my voice to those recommending that you NOT compile you  
own kernel, and instead use the centosplus kernel, especially if it  
contains the module(s) you need.
