Every time Red Hat releases a new kernel RPM they also release a kernel-source RPM. For example on Fedora Core 1 there is: kernel-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.i686.rpm If you install the second RPM it will put Red Hat's kernel with patches into /usr/src/linux-2.4 along with a handful of .config files for building the kernel in /usr/src/linux-2.4/configs. When new security patches come out you can install the new kernel-source RPM, copy over your .config file and then recompile the kernel.
