The kernel-source rpm unpacks the kernel sources into
/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-30_37.rh9.at, go into that directory (same like
/usr/src/linux-2.4, if you just installed it).

ls config/*config

gives you the available config files.

cp -a config/<...> .config

Replace <...> with the config of your choice.

Then

perl -pi -e's,custom,,' Makefile
make oldconfig
make oldconfig
make dep

Now the kernel sources are ready to be built against.
