This seems to be the binary kernel not the source. a simple

rpm -qlp linux-2.4.19-3.alpha.rpm

Will show you whether it's the binary kernel or the kernel source. Either
way, when you have a non relocatable rpm, there is no way to put it
somewhere else. IF it's really the source, I'd use either mc to view the
rpm and then copy the interesting part somewhere else or use rpm2cpio to
unpack the contents to where I want it. For the latter see 'man rpm2cpio'.
