The latest updated CentOS SRPMS are at http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/updates/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.9-42.0.3.EL.src.rpm The single digit release number, $releasever in yum configs, always points to the current version - as of now 4.4. The original 4.4 kernel is at http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4.4/os/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.9-42.EL.src.rpm Phil
