The patch that I have changes the /drivers/scsi/sg.c. When I apply the
patch using the spec file through rpmbuild command, it creates a kernel
header rpm under /usr/src/redhat/RPMS
The command used: rpmbuild -ba SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec
Now, do I need to install the rpm that was created for the change to
take effect?
Also, if I need to patch another system, can I just take the rpm and
install it instead of repeating the patching procedure?
Thanks.
Abdel...

Uh, that depends on what exactly it is you're trying to patch... But if 
you're planning to patch, say, an lsi scsi kernel module, then yeah, you

need the kernel source...

The kernel src.rpm's can be found on ftp.redhat.com as well as any 
mirror that mirrors ftp.redhat.com.
