[root@localhost src]# pwd
/usr/src
[root@localhost src]# ll

drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2008-07-16 22:02 kernels
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 2007-11-12 08:25 redhat
[root@localhost src]# cd kernels/
[root@localhost kernels]# ll

But you don't have the source for 2.6.20
Your running kernel is 2.6.23
You seem to have sources for: 2.6.23 and 2.6.25
