There are lots of kernels for 8.0.  It depends on whether or not you
updated your kernel (which you ABSOLUTELY should have done).

The kernel source RPM is named, strangely enough,
"kernel-source-(version).i386.rpm", with "(version)" replaced by your
kernel version.  Your current kernel version number is given by the
command "uname -r".

Instructions for building a kernel are at:
