HOUSTON, We have a problem.

It's probably worth mentioning here, that this won't work in any
recent (Centos 4 or 5) release, because kernel-*-devel packages don't
contain any source files. They contain the headers needed to link a
module against the kernel, and that's about it.

If you want to rebuild the kernel, you're going to have to extract the
source from the kernel src.rpm, and follow the instructions on the
wiki.
