/usr/src/linux is usually a symbolic link to what ever kernel source you're using.
For instance my /usr/src/linux points to linux-2.4.20-19.8
Good Luck

Ahhh... then it appears you didn't install the kernel source when you install RedHat 9.0.
No worries... simply run redhat-config-packages tool, stick in whatever CD RedHat asks for, and install the kernel source.
Good Luck

Then I guess you don't have installed the kernel-sources package. You could install it if you have the Red Hat cds. Running "redhat-config-packages" or installing it manually.
