Abraham, When I build kernels for LTSP workstations, I NEVER use redhat kernel sources. they apply many many patches to their kernels that the workstations just don't need.
If you want to build your own kernels, I suggest you go to ftp.kernel.org and grab yourself a nice fresh set of kernel sources and have fun with that.
