In /boot
but that won't help.

I do this way to have always kernel rpm:

1) download the new kernel
2) unpack it 
3) make menuconfig
4) rpm -i kernel....src.rpm
5) cp the .config you get at point 3 in
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/kernel-2.2-i386.config and even for the 586 686.
6) edit the /usr/src/redhat/SPEC/kernel.spec
to take out all the specific redhat patches for 2.2.5

rpm -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPEC/kernel.spec

and you'll have all the kernel rpm created.

The path and filenames I wrote maybe a bit different, they are from
memory...
