Hi,

I need the source code for my currently running kernel and more and 
more desperate try to follow the instructions at:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Kernel?highlight=%28kernel%29

My currently installed kernels:
% yum list kernel
...
Installed Packages
kernel.i686                              2.6.14-1.1656_FC4      
installed
kernel.i686                              2.6.14-1.1637_FC4      
installed
Available Packages
kernel.i586                              2.6.14-1.1656_FC4      
updates-released[

My currently running kernel:
% uname -r
2.6.14-1.1656_FC4

Trying to get the source rpm:
% yumdownloader --source kernel
./kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.src.rpm already exists and appears to be 
complete

But kernel-2.6.11 is neither the running kernel nor even installed?!?

I probably missed some configuration or parameter somewhere. Can anyone 
please give me a hint?
% yum --version
2.4.1
% yum list yum-utils
...
yum-utils.noarch                         0.3.1-1.fc4            
installed

Best Regards
Flyer
