  RH is almost certainly using seperate runtime and source packages for
the kernel.  Looking at http://www.rpmfind.net/ I see things like:

	kernel-2.4.20-2.6.i686.rpm
	kernel-2.4.20-2.6.src.rpm

The first being the compiled kernel and modules, the latter the source
for it.  So go find kernel-2.4.18-19.8.0.src.rpm, or even better upgrade
packages to a 2.4.20 kernel the current latest stable release.
