RHEL AS 4 Kernel SRC + DKMS + QLogic

Hi, I need some help. I installed RHEL AS 4 u5 x86_64 (vendor requirement) on a Dell Blade 1855. I have a daughter board that will give it a HBA port. I can't install the daughter card until the Qlogic driver is loaded. I can't install the Qlogic driver sine the kernel src is not there.

So I did some reading and this is what I did to copy the kernel src.

rpm -ivh redhat-rpm-config-8.0.32.1-4.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh rpm-build-4.3.3-22_nonptl.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.9-55.EL4.x86_64.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
rpmbuild -bp --target=x86_64 kernel-2.6.spec
cp -a /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9 /usr/src
ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.9 /usr/src/linux
ls -lt /usr/src/
total 36

drw-r--r-- 3 root root 4096 Mar 13 17:33 qla2xxx-v8.01.00
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Mar 13 17:25 linux -> /usr/src/linux-2.6.9
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 Mar 13 17:24 linux-2.6.9
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Mar 13 17:23 redhat
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Mar 13 16:37 qlogic

So I believe the kernel src is copied correctly. Then I do:

rpm -ivh dkms-2.0.5-1.noarch.rpm
warning: dkms-2.0.5-1.noarch.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 23b66a9d
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:dkms ########################################### [100%]

rpm -ivh qla2xxx-v8.01.00-3dkms.noarch.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:qla2xxx ########################################### [100%]

Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/qla2xxx/v8.01.00/source ->
/usr/src/qla2xxx-v8.01.00

DKMS: add Completed.

Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the
kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed.

So can anyone tell me what I did wrong and what I need to do to fix this?

Thanks.
