i'm compiling the kernel at this moment.... should take a while.
now lets hope that wifi support has been made better and that suspend is working how it should :)
But why isn't rpmbuild compiling all kernel rpm's if you leave out the --target? than it makes the kernel-headers rpm and a .src.rpm but nothing more.

It depends on what you want to do. Your question seemed to be: How do I
get "rpmbuild -ba kernel-2.6.spec" to produce kernel rpms. The answer
is:
rpmbuild -ba --target $(uname -m) kernel-2.6.spec
I should have made it clearer in my original reply that the
"--target...." was the only thing you needed to get from that page.
If you want to make modifications to the kernel spec file, then the rest
of that page becomes relevant.
