Reinstalling will not solve the problem as none of the binary distros install Kernel sources by default. If you have all the 5 CDs then 4th and 5th CDs most probably will be having the sources. Look for linux-kernel-xxxxx.src.rpm on one of the two CDs. Here xxxxx means version number of the kernel that came with your distro. Locate the file and then double click it...your distros package manager will take over and install the sources for you.
