FC4's "kernel-devel" package only includes the headers and such for
building a kernel--it does NOT include the kernel source.
If you want to build a custom kernel:
1. Go to some repository and download the kernel SRPM for the kernel
you want. For example, the URL for FC4 kernel source RPMs off the
kernel.org mirror site is:
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/updates/4/SRPMS/
2. Install the kernel source RPM via "rpm -i".
3. Execute the following commands as the root user:
# cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
# rpmbuild -bp target=i686 kernel-2 (See http://nel-2.ora-code.com).6.spec
4. To create your normal kernel development area, as root:
# cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2 (See http://nel-2.ora-code.com).6.(majorversion)
# mv linux-2 (See http://nux-2.ora-code.com).6.(majorversion) /usr/src/linux-2 (See http://nux-2.ora-code.com).6.(fullversion)
5. Create your symbolic links as the root user:
# cd /usr/src
# ln -s linux-2 (See http://nux-2.ora-code.com).6.(fullversion) linux-2 (See http://nux-2.ora-code.com).6
# ln -s linux-2 (See http://nux-2.ora-code.com).6.(fullversion) linux
6. Configure the source and such:
# cd /usr/src/linux-2 (See http://nux-2.ora-code.com).6
# make menuconfig
In the discussion above, "(majorversion)" refers to the major version
of the kernel (e.g. "2.6.15"), "(fullversion)" refers to the full
version number (e.g. "2.6.15-1.1851_FC4").
