You need to download the source RPM for the kernel, either from the
Sources CD, or from the appropriate sources directory. Apparently
Redhat stopped providing an explicit kernel sources RPM package since
it was already available on their sources CD.
I had to do a little google search on rpmbuild to figure out how to
retrieve the source from this collection of patches, since I hadn't
done this before.
