Red Hat has (or at least, they had) packages named kernel-source-<version> that contained the kernel sources. That should be what you need -- just make sure you install the right version. (Match whichever kernel you're running.)

I`m not certain about Red Hat, but Fedora uses kernel-devel. I suspect they use the same naming convention. At any rate, try

yum install kernel-source

and

yum install kernel-devel

to load the source code
