I was able to download the rpm's and install them:

[root at ip-97-74-119-59 src]# rpm -ivh

You do not appear to have the sources for the 2.6.18-028stab064.7
kernel installed.

make: *** [all] Error 2

The directories in /usr/src/kernels is:
[root at ip-97-74-119-59 kernels]# ls -l
total 51328
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root     4096 Jul 14 18:04

drwxrwxr-x 19 root root     4096 Feb 23  2007 linux-2.6.18.8

I tried to install the kernel from source but couldn't find the exact
kernel, I installed linux-2.6.18.8 as I was the closest.

Both of the directories in /usr/src/kernels/ have the -i686 suffix, is
that the issue?
