The correct kernel headers to have in place are those used to compile your glibc. You
do not want other kernel headers. Ever. Not even if you run a 2.5 kernel on RHL 6.0.
Additionally, you should not put the kernel source in /usr/src/linux because (prior to
RHL 7.x) that stuffs up the kernel headers.
