Actually, the kernel-devel package only contains the kernel headers and 
Makefiles

The kernel-devel package is only 3.6M for Centos4 x86_64, the kernel 
SRPM is 42M which is close to what you'll find the kernel source on 
kernel.org for 2.6.9 is 35M, so the kernel-devel package can't even come 
close to actually containing the source.

If you want the actual source code for the kernel you need to break the 
source code out of the src.rpm

For example (should work with all FC3,FC4,FC5,Centos4,RHEL4)

Back to the main thrust of my question (since I had the kernel-devel 
pacakge installed on one system)...is there a way to package this for 
systems that don't have development tools?

Removing all package and reinstalling (even with kernel-devel and even 
OpenIPMI-devel installed) give the error message:

Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the
kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed.

Installing and starting the ipmi service from the OpenIPMI package makes 
the OpenManage web interface and tools work though.
