to compile your own modules in an RPM based distribution, you just need
the kernel-devel RPM installed, that has all the includes and such your
module should need. if you wanted to build the complete .el5 kernel
from the .src.rpm, you would use rpmbuild, which would compile it
according to the.spec file and would generate your own kernel .rpm.
Typically when you do this, you modify the spec file and various
patchfiles so your custom built kernel has its own version number suffix
