i believe the .src.rpm infact contains the kernel sources and would be installed into /usr/src/linux
form where the usual procedures involved in compiliing a custom kernel can be followed.
regards, anoop.

Am I wrong to say that the .src.rpm is actually the kernel Source in rpm format???
I haven't actually unpacked one before.. I use the ones from kernel.org

RPMOkay, what you want is the "kernel.2.4.20-8.src.rpm" which is the Sourcekernel-source.2.4.20-8.rpm in RPMS kernel.2.4.20-8.src.rpm in SRPMS
file. Hang on.. it's a different version.. Yours' is 20-6, the one in redhat is 20-8. Nope.. can't do.. How did you install RH? from CDs? Did you upgrade your kernel before?? YOu will have to search through your source, either CDs or somewhere...
No!!! (sorry) You want the kernel-source RPM. This is a copy of the kernel sources so that you can build the driver against them. If you installed off the CDs then you can get the kernel-source RPM from one of those. Installing .src.rpm will put a bunch of files in /usr/src/redhat and they're of no use to you.
