Viewing the headers of the kmod-drbd RPM shows this as the > source RPM: drbd-kmod-0.7.24-2.2.6.9_55.0.9.EL.src.rpm, which does exist. rpm -qpi kmod-drbd-8.0.4-1.2.6.18_8.1.14.el5.i686.rpm|grep -i source Group: System Environment/Kernel Source RPM: drbd-kmod-8.0.4-1.2.6.18_8.1.14.el5.src.rpm but there is such file es the above. > The XFS RPM lists it's source RPM as > kernel-module-xfs-2.6.9-55.EL-0.2-1.src.rpm though, and I can't find > that in the SRPMS sub-directory of extras, so it looks like that one is > missing. rpm -qpi kmod-xfs-0.4-1.2.6.18_8.1.14.el5.i686.rpm|grep -i source Group: System Environment/Kernel Source RPM: xfs-kmod-0.4-1.2.6.18_8.1.14.el5.src.rpm but this file also missing > Actually, I just checked centosplus, and it's included in the source > directory of that (probably since it's built for the plus repo kernels > as well).
