Dear Phil.

Are you sure that you want to rebuild whole kernel?

If you want to build some 3rd-party module only -- there is much simple way. 
Just install according vzkenrel and vzkernel-devel packages on your node and 
use out-of-tree compilation described in
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt

thank you,

Then following https://openvz.org/Kernel_build I ran menuconfig and enabled the additional module.  The next step, according to the wiki, is to copy the .config to "$TOPDIR/SOURCES directory, but use the corresponding file name in the target directory" so if my arch is x86_64 do I copy it to SOURCES/config-x86_64-generic or the rhel derivative ? Then once that is done execute rpmbuild -ba --target=x86_64 vzkernel.spec to generate the kernel RPM ?
