In SL (and CentOS), kernel source files required for most routine
tasks (for example, building certain kernel modules) are provided by
the kernel-devel package. In your case, you need to install the full
kernel source, hence the instructions.

Now, if you want to go ahead and build your modified kernel, then read
through another wiki page:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel

You might want to share the reason why you need to modify sched.c, perhaps?
