Well i managed to download kernel-2.6.9-42.EL.src.rpm from web, i used
following commands to update my kernel but it not showing me at boot prompt

i did following commands
# rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.9-42.EL.src.rpm
# rpmbuild -bp --target $(uname -m) kernel-2.6.spec
# cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9/
# make menuconfig
# enabled IB support and saved the config
