Well the thing to doe is to put the src.rpm in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
and hen you do: rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.src.rpm
I would expect you would get a spec file in: /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
Then you would run: rpmbuild --rebuild on the spec file.
Or if you want to remove the middleman you could do a:
rpmbuild --rebuild kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.src.rpm
