The Kernel sourcecode is not like kernel-source. It is a noarch rpm
that does not get arch specific patches added to the source, making it
relatively worthless as a package for building kernels.
Because of that, and because it is not down by either fedora or the
upstream provider, we are also no longer producing a kernel-sourcecode
rpm.
If one needs a full kernel tree, they can download the kernel SRPM from
here:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/SRPMS/
OR
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/updates/SRPMS/
Then install the source with the command:
rpm -i kernel-xxxx.src.rpm
Then go to the SPECS directory (Usually /usr/src/redhat/SPECS) and get
a full kernel tree with the command:
rpmbuild -bp --target i686 kernel-2.6.spec
(substitute your target arch)
Then go to the BUILD directory and you will have a real (and patched)
tree:
cd ../BUILD
