Hi Kartik, You need not create a RPM from the TAR file.You can directly unzip and compile the kernel.
You can follow these steps. 1) Untar the kernel. 2) Run "make mrproper" in the unzipped kernel directory. 3) Run "make menuconfig" 4) Run "make" 5) Run "make modules" 6) Run "make modules_install". 7) At the end run "make install" The last step should make an entry in your bootloader's conf file (GRUB or LILO). If the last step gives some errors you have to manually edit the bootloader's conf file. Try and let me know if you face any issues.
