Kernel troubles (RH9)

I'm trying to update my kernel and add some hardware support (using RH9). I downloaded and installed (updated, actually, but whatever) the 2.4.20-28.9 RPM. My question is, I'm trying to use make menuconfig to add the modules, but I can't seem to find where it's located. Everywhere I've looked says it should be in /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-28.9 but in /usr/src all I have are "debug" and "redhat", neither of which have the kernel in their subfolders. Where is the kernel located then?

Hi Matt, You need the kernel source RPM. It is around 40mb the kernel you have is probably a precomplied binary and will run around 12 mb. Good Luck On the compile I have yet to get one to work. Ron
