More than likely (unless you know someone who has nothing better to do
than create RPMs of the latest kernels) you'll end up having to learn
how to build them from source.

There's a really great tutorial/walkthrough here -

And of course, for your own safety, download from kernel.org or another
trusted source, and do the md5 checksums. (yes, Virginia, even trusted
repositories get hacked every once in awhile).
