# yum install kernel-devel

This is required on FC4+ as well as RHEL4+.

It accidentally occurred in 1 (or 2?) kernel update(s) on FC3, but the
official line is that the kernel-devel (/lib/modules/ver/build) begins
with FC4+ and RHEL4+.

In FC3 and earlier (including RHEL3), the "kernel" package includes
those files, which bloats the size about 2MB or so.
