The section "8.6. Preparing for Kernel Development" of the FC5 Release Notes is not right. If you follow the downloading instructions for kernel source with yum, you will get the following: [root@pedro ~]# yumdownloader --source kernel /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/config.py:447: DeprecationWarning: setConfigOption() will go away in a future version of Yum. Please set option values as attributes or using setattr(). DeprecationWarning) /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/config.py:439: DeprecationWarning: getConfigOption() will go away in a future version of Yum. Please access option values as attributes or using getattr(). DeprecationWarning) core [1/3] updates [2/3] extras [3/3] No Match for argument kernel Also, the line "You can also find the .config file that matches your current kernel configuration in the /lib/modules/<version>/build/.config file." is not OK. It does not exists (on x86_64 kernels). Best regards.
This is fixed in the current Wiki version and should be in the next errata update. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Kernel
