Sounds good - you're probably just missing the right one! :-)

vmlinuz is very much stripped & compressed.
The file we're after is .../vmlinux, and should be contained in
the kernel-debuginfo-2.6.32-504.3.3.el6.x86_64.rpm package.
You should be able to get hold of it with the 'stap-prep'
or 'debuginfo-install kernel' programs, or by downloading
it by hand from RHN.
