I don't know, but RedHat keeps "improving" things, and
rpm went from version 3 to version 4 in the interim.

The good news is that several folks have built a 2.4 kernel
for PeeWee, so you can have your kernel, and pwl, too.  The
mini howto can be found here:

Now, since you already have a kernel, you could skip almost
all that, and just figure out where to put it so PeeWee will
make a system with it.   If you've built one of PeeWee's 2.2
you already have it.  I you haven't this might be the best
way to see how it is done.

I have notes on this...here it is...look in 

Embedded_Build/packages/Kernel_Custom/

With that set up properly, you can pick your kernel right off
the menus!
