The kernel and kernel-devel packages are different, the files in /boot and /lib/modules are part of the kernel package, kernel-devel files are in /usr/src/kernels (though there are links from /lib/modules). Incidentally, the kernel-devel package was missed out of the CD version of FC5 by accident, but you can get them via yum, or from the unpackaged os version. Michael Young
