Phil,
I can't be sure (for obvious reasons . . . ) but I believe kernel-devel does not hold the full kernel sources, just sufficient to allow modules to be built for the current kernel. (That's how it is with CentOS.)
Nope, the kernel-headers package should hold.. well, the headers
required to compile modules and other kernel based stuff, the devel
package holds the kernel sources.
[root@wibble 2.6.18-8.1.8.el5-i686]# rpm -qa |grep kernel
kernel-devel-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5
kernel-headers-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5
kernel-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5
and rpm -ql on the kernel-headers shows all files under /usr/include

Hi Alan,
I believe kernel-devel holds the source. Good call Alan. Thanks for making
me realize that I ran the 'make menuconfig' command from the wrong place. I
found the Makefile and Makefile.cpu under:
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-8.el15-i686/arch/i386
um, try running it under /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-8.el15-i686/
If you do not have a makefile there, then I would suggest that you do
not have a complete kernel-devel package installed and you shoudl
probably download and install it again.
You should possibly look at upgrading your kernel while you are at it to
the latest version
[root@wibble 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5-i686]# pwd
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-53.1.4.el5-i686
[root@wibble 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5-i686]# make menuconfig
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/conf.o
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/kxgettext.o
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/mconf.o
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.o
.
.
etc
This is being done with the packages installed above, make sure you have
them on your system.
