Source RPMs (i.e. *.src.rpm) are installed under /usr/src/redhat.
Binary RPMs can be installed anywhere. For a list of the files in an
RPM, run `rpm -qpl rpm_file_name' for an uninstalled package, and `rpm
-ql package_name' for an installed package.

The kernel source is installed there, but the binaries are in /boot.

There are several kernel packages. From my newly installed RH7.0 box:
[johnc@dropbear ~]# rpm -qa |grep -E '^kernel'
kernel-ibcs-2.2.19-7.0.1
kernel-2.2.19-7.0.1
kernel-headers-2.4.0-0.26
kernel-pcmcia-cs-2.2.19-7.0.1
kernel-utils-2.2.19-7.0.1
kernel-doc-2.2.19-7.0.1
kernelcfg-0.6-9
kernel-source-2.2.19-7.0.1
`kernel-source' is the package you want, and it's installed under
/usr/src/linux-2.2.19/
Cheers,
John
