Being rpm ignorant I do not know what the expected content of a kernel-source RPM are but this is the available targets for kernel packaging (from make help):
Kernel packaging: rpm-pkg - Build the kernel as an RPM package binrpm-pkg - Build an rpm package containing the compiled kernel and modules deb-pkg - Build the kernel as an deb package tar-pkg - Build the kernel as an uncompressed tarball targz-pkg - Build the kernel as a gzip compressed tarball tarbz2-pkg - Build the kernel as a bzip2 compressed tarball
I just tried binrpm-pkg - but alas I have no rpm installed it failed.
