Where is my kernel source?

I'm trying to install a driver package on my machine and it fails because it can't locate the kernel source! I'm a Linux noob and I don't know what to do... I'm running Redhat 7.3. Please help!

install kernel-source.blah.rpm from your distro cds.

I can't find that RPM. There are several RPMs for the kernel, but none of them say source. I picked the RPM that I thought most appropriate (i686 SMP) and I still can't locate the Kernel source on my hard drive...

you def don't want an SMP kernel (for multiple cpus), it really will be on your cd's somewhere, if not try here... http://at.rpmfind.net/opsys/linux/RP...el-source.html make sure the version matches EXACTLY though...

Why not SMP? I have two CPUs and that's what I boot to...

Anyway I've gotten the RPM installed and now I have the source. Now the only problem is when I try to make install for the drivers, it spews out line after line after line of unresolved symbol errors... ARGH!!! What is the deal??
