no redhat kernel-source after building

The Derfer

I did:
rpm -vih kernel-2.4.21-52.EL.src.rpm

Then:
rpmbuild -ba --target i686 kernel-2.4.spec

Which, expectedly, built:

kernel-2.4.21-52.EL.i686.rpm
kernel-debuginfo-2.4.21-52.EL.i686.rpm
kernel-hugemem-2.4.21-52.EL.i686.rpm
kernel-hugemem-unsupported-2.4.21-52.EL.i686.rpm
kernel-smp-2.4.21-52.EL.i686.rpm
kernel-smp-unsupported-2.4.21-52.EL.i686.rpm
kernel-unsupported-2.4.21-52.EL.i686.rpm

I installed (and am successfully using) kernel-hugemem-2.4.21-52
via the usual 'rpm -vih' command.

But where is the package that's supposed to be named something like
kernel-source-2.4.21-52.EL.i686.rpm?
I don't see it anywhere and really need the source installed.

rpm -a -q | grep kernel yields:
kernel-smp-2.4.21-20.EL
kernel-hugemem-2.4.21-51.EL
kernel-2.4.21-4.EL
kernel-source-2.4.21-27.EL
kernel-hugemem-2.4.21-47.0.1.EL
kernel-source-2.4.21-20.EL
kernel-smp-2.4.21-9.EL
kernel-smp-2.4.21-27.EL
kernel-hugemem-2.4.21-52.EL
kernel-2.4.21-20.EL
kernel-smp-2.4.21-4.EL
kernel-utils-2.4-8.37.6
kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-13
kernel-hugemem-2.4.21-50.EL

.... but no 52 kernel-source.

How can I create and install it?
Seems to me this technique used to generate a kernel-source rpm.

Thanks in advance.

Read the .spec file: I believe it's called "kernel-devel", and it's a noarch architecture. And you can do this directly:

rpmbuild --rebuild kernel-2.4.21-52.EL.src.rpm --target i686
rpmbuild --rebuild kernel-2.4.21-52.EL.src.rpm --target noarch
rpmbuild --rebuild kernel-2.4.21-52.EL.src.rpm --target i386

The i386 build gets you the BOOT kernels for CD installations.

Thanks, but it was my understanding that kernel-devel and kernel-
source
were two different things. Hope I'm wrong; your way sounds easier.

Am I right about this or is at all bundled in devel now?
Is this step the one that builds the kernel-source:?

rpmbuild --rebuild kernel-2.4.21-52.EL.src.rpm --target noarch
