Greetings,

You can install the kernel source with yum. On SL5, the packages are
labeled as:

hendrix> rpm -q -a | grep kernel | grep devel
kernel-devel-2.6.18-238.5.1.el5
kernel-devel-2.6.18-238.19.1.el5
kernel-devel-2.6.18-238.9.1.el5
kernel-devel-2.6.18-238.12.1.el5

I imagine it is similar on SL6, so you would do something like:

	yum install kernel-devel-`uname -r`

	Good luck,
	doug
