Kernel Source files Confusion
I have open suse kernel kernel 3.1.0-1.2-desktop on which I used kernel source 3.1.10-1.2 downloaded from kernel.org and so I guess I am facing issues while loading kernel modules.

I went to site
kernel-source-3.1.0-1.2.1.noarch.rpm openSUSE 12.1 Free Download
where it shows 2 rpm files
Package filename: kernel-source-3.1.0-1.2.1.noarch.rpm
Source package: kernel-source-3.1.0-1.2.1.src.rpm

What is the difference between this Package filename and Source package?


Similarly in the site RPM resource kernel-source
I see two rpm for kernel 3.1.0-1.2.1:
kernel-source-3.1.0-1.2.1.noarch.rpm
and
kernel-source-3.1.0-1.2.1.src.rpm

What is the difference between these two rpm and their purposes and which one should I download?
