It requires the kernal source which I believe would be in /usr/src/linux. I do not have that source directory so I'm trying to install the source from the CD. Where is it? I tried installing Kernal-Source-SPM from Source Packages but it didn't put any source in /usr/src/linux. When I go back into Yast, it doesn't show that it was installed. I'm confused. Was the source installed? Where is it?

it is in

/usr/src/linux(with major and minor numbers of versions)
note u have to install KernelDevelopemnt libraries
to get this folder
or u can get a kernel from kernel.org
compile it and build it.

Sometime vanilla kernel have problems in certain distributions, although in my opinion have less bugs.
