HI, Where can I get fedora 8 kernel source code

[netphilic]

I want to change few drivers.
I think I can't load the kernel.org's kernel ? I guess Fedora kernel is modified one.

Thanks

yumdownloader --source kernel

should do it, provided you have the source repositories somewhere in your repo configs.

oh, and yes, fedora kernel can be (is) quite heavily modified.

In Fedora 9:

yum install kernel-devel

Edit: Oops, this is wrong

Hmmm, no. That won't download the kernel source. That will just install the kernel-devel package which is often required to build other packages against the current kernel, but it is not the kernel source.

The F9 preview repo is here:

What's that got to do with this thread and the OP's question?

yumdownloader is provided by the yum-utils package.

yum install yum-utils

Yumdownloader seems to be in mysystem.

After running "yumdownloader --source kernel", I got a src rpm file on the directory, where I run the command.

I did rpm install of that.

It created /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES directory
but here I see only .patch files no .c or .h files.

You can adapt that to the version of fedora you are using.

See the Fedora Custom Kernel document.
