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-cus
tom-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.

Well, i did try
yum -y install kernel-source
but yum cant find it
No Match for argument: kernel-source
I gonna try the plus kernel
However, i hate using something that i don't know what inside it. I
prefer making something that i feel suit me (for the same reason, i
alwas build by comp instead of buy a brand name one although it is
cheaper in some cases). So far as i have done, all kernel i build on
gentoo is around 1mb with a few modules. Does it really matter using a
big complicated kernel instead of a compact one?
Thanks for help, guys
