RH doesn't give you the kernel sources by default. They shoud be on one of your cd's though. Just mount your RH cd and intstall the RPM source file for your kernel.

Hello

Thanks Linux~power,help me to find out the way to install in ur web link

BUT this is my Part-2 of my problem,Can you tell me where is that KERNAL SOURCE in LINUX CD-1 and what is the Name of the File wich i install (redhat 9 )

I don't know exactly where on the cd it'll be. It should be on the first cd though. I run Slackware and not RH, so things are done differently. Look for a /src folder on your cd. Inside the /src dir. look for something like kernel-source-2.6.5-i686.rpm, whatever kernel RH ships with now a days. To install that package just run...
rpm -Uvh kernel-source-2.4.29-i686.rpm I'm no RH expert here, but I think you should use the upgrade option vs. the install (-ivh) option.
