# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel-source.repo [rhel-source] name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch - Source baseurl=ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/$releasever/en/os/SRPMS/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release Adding something like the above seems to make yumdownloader work obtaining the source from the Red Hat ftp site. I don't know any way to obtain it from RHN using command line tools currently. It might not be necessary to install kernel source to do what you describe, kernel-devel is typically all that is required to build modules ... but obtaining source for the kernel or for other packages is useful from time to time anyway.
