There's no kernel-source RPM on recent Fedora. Also, there's another problem... On my laptop at the moment: % rpm -q kernel kernel-2.6.16-1.2215_FC6 % uname -r 2.6.17-rc4-mm3 Did you want the vendor kernel source, or the running kernel source? Might want to look at the symlink at /lib/modules/`uname -r`/source which is probably as sane as it gets... (Though admittedly Fedora points it into the wild blue yonder of /usr/src/kernels/`uname -r` which isn't where the non-existent kernel-source RPM puts it. Getting the .src.rpm and working from there leaves it in /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/yadda-yadda....)
