Which distro?

Right.  Starting with 1.8.1, we are packaging our kernels just like the
vendor does, so that a RH user will get our packages and be immediately
familiar with them and what he has to do to use them because it's
exactly the same as the stock packages.

Because you didn't find a kernel-source, I am guessing you are using the
RHEL5 packages.  RH doesn't package a kernel-source package, only Suse
does.  RH requires that you get the source from the src.rpm.  There's
tonnes of info on the web on how to build a kernel from source for RHEL.
Google will find it pretty quickly.
