The kernel-2.4.18-3.src.rpm does contain the kernel source, but not in the form you want it. It allows you to recompile the kernel yourself, and build the RPMs you can get from RH. If you have applications that need the kernel includes, then you'll probably just want the kernel-source-2.4.18-3.i386.rpm as mentioned above. Note that when you install a *.src.rpm, it doesn't (AFAIK) go into the RPM database at all. The files get installed into /usr/src/redhat (by default), but that's it. So if you later try to query said RPM, rpm won't even know it has been installed.
