Hi
So your system isn't registered? Else they are lost.... (smd does
that :( ) Is the DVD in the system?

The linux-kernel-headers should be on the dvd, just browse it and
manually install with rpm -Uhv <name-of-rpm>

Hi.

Not 100% sure but I was in the same situation (Long time ago) until I found out that you must install gcc in order to call kernel-headers. Kernel-sources and kernel-syms are available with YasT and Zypper without a hitch.

I'm also not sure but most probabily you will need to download the SLE SDK DVD 1 and 2.
