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...
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 chad

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

SRPMS are not added to the RPM database
The 'kernel source folder' is /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES

For what reason do you need to the kernel sources ? If you check the CentOS wiki (http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/I_need_the_Kernel_Source) you can found out what you actually need to install.
