It seems to me that one of the above attempts should have worked.
 

Looks to me as though your headlist is not correct. To use urpmi your 
system headlist must be uptodate. In other words your system must have 
knowledge of the url and list of packages available on that url.

Also, you cannot just install  kernel-2.6.3-15mdk.src as this is source 
code and must be compiled first ( that is the last process packagers do 
to create an installable rpm) until you have a better understanding of 
this process best to come back to it another time.

I don't use urpmi myself.
