in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES? Yes, that is the file to replace if you are
building for i386. Most probably you will also want to replace a
properly patched file for i686 and use "--target i686" to build a i686
kernel (or athlon or whatever). You will also need to build for i386 as
that is the build that creates the kernel-source i386.rpm...
