Any help and advice would be appreciated.

Maybe, Jeff, you could try instead the pair i586 kernel and
kernel-devel. (It works here.)

Nope.  Wrong answer.

Symlink config.h to autoconf.h in /usr/src/kernel/<version>/include/linux.

This is the same problem that bjorks the nvidia driver. config.h was depricated, but far too much code looks for it.
