People have mentioned problems with the kernel-source rpm...is the one
you've downloaded ok?  This is the one I've got successfully installed:

Summary     : The source code for the Linux kernel.
Description :
The kernel-source package contains the source code files for the Linux
kernel. These source files are needed to build most C programs, since
they depend on the constants defined in the source code. The source
files can also be used to build a custom kernel that is better tuned
to your particular hardware.
