Compile new kernel with same configuration

["Francisco J. Márquez Gómez"]

  Thank you very much.

I downloaded the latest stable kernel from kernel.org and I can't apply 
same config file, due to some parameters are differents or not recognizes.

Where I can download official RHEL5 Kernel sourcecode? I don't find the 
kernel-source package via "yum search".

I have found this ftp: 
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/os/SRPMS/

but when I install the .src.rpm package I found many .patch files, not 
the source code "as it".

Regards,
F.J
