It looks as if you are missing the difference between "kernel" and
"kernel-source" (you want both). Look for something like this:
$ rpm -qa | grep kern
kernel-source-2.4.22-1.2129.nptl <============
kernel-utils-2.4-9.1.101.fedora
glibc-kernheaders-2.4-8.36
kernel-doc-2.4.22-1.2129.nptl
kernel-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl
kernel-2.4.22-1.2129.nptl <=============
If kernel-source-* is missing. You need to install "kernel-source".
Out of the box I suspect you want to use "up2date"
up2date --install kernel-source
Others would install then use "yum"
yum install kernel-source
The install should populate this dir for you and set up the links:
/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2129.nptl/
You may also wish to update and pickup some of the recent bug fixes.
With nVidia be sure to "export CC=gcc32" to your environment so the
compile/link/load of the nVidia driver works. The Fedora kernel was
built gcc32 and you need the driver to match.
