I can back Kevin's comments up 100% since I just went through the same 
issue with a newly installed fc5 this week. In my case, the
/lib/modules/<foo>-${EXTRAVERSION}/build
didn't end up pointing to the correct kernel source (eg, headers). Took 
a while to figure out exactly where it should have been pointed.
