Hi ,
I would like use kernel source for both adding drivers are well as
configuring kernel.( porting for small embedded system)


Here i see one more problem , i have followed your below mentioned
steps.

kernel sources got updated, but when i try a command like rpm -qa | grep
kernel-source " nothing has been returned .

i have a doubt whether kernel sources were really downloaded or not .

Below i have pasted the messages from yum

This last step should have resulted in a file
kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.src.rpm in the directory you ran it from. That
package contains the full kernel sources.

It's a source RPM package, so installing it just unpacks it into your
RPM build environment and will not affect the RPM database at all, hence
it won't show in "rpm -qa".

A guide to tweaking the kernel package can be found at:
