You need to install the kernel-source-2.4.22-noarch-3 package to get the
kernel sources in /usr/src/linux. You're probably best off leaving these
sources in /usr/src/linux alone however. (The README explains why).
Ethier copy the sources from /usr/src to another dir, or download the
latest stable kernel from a kernel.org mirror. You can copy /boot/config
to .config in your kernel sources directory to give you a good start on
reconfguring the kernel. (It will give you the configuration of your
currently running kernel).

There are some guides on recompiling the kernel in this group's FAQ, if
you get stuck.
