Where do I get the source that comes with the distribution? I installed the kernel-source package, but it doesn't appear to have everything I need.

I think that's a result of you not using the kernel-source RPM from Novell. I'm not _sure_ of that, but that would be good first step to see if the problem goes away. I would recommend, however, using the latest kernel and kernel source available, 2.6.16.53-0.18. 2.6.16.21-0.8 is from back in 2006.
