Hi All,

I must have missed something here.

I installed my kernel source using rpm -ivh kernel-`uname -r`.el5.src.rpm it installs perfectly, without error, but if I cd to the /usr/src/redhat folder, all I get is SOURCES and SPECS...

This is correct - SRPMS install, by default, into /usr/src/redhat - the source files go into /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES and the spec files go into /usr/src/redhat/SPECS

rpm -qa | grep kernel

doesn't return the kernel source rpm I installed only the kernel, devel and headers. And I can't find the actual kernel source folder.... thanks

SRPMS are not added to the RPM database

The 'kernel source folder' is /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
