Could you tell me exactly what you did, please.
I am running Fedora-15 (32-bit) with kernel 2.6.40-4.fc15.i686.PAE.
I have akmods-0.3.6-3.fc12.noarch and akmod-tp_smapi-0.40-1.fc11.i686
installed from RPMs.

When I try to start the akmods service I get
------------------------------------
[tim at blanche ~]$ sudo service akmods restart
Checking kmods exist for 2.6.40-4.fc15.i686.PAE            [  OK  ]
Files needed for building modules against kernel
2.6.40-4.fc15.i686.PAE could not be found as the following
directories are missing:
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.40-4.fc15.i686.PAE/
/lib/modules/2.6.40-4.fc15.i686.PAE/build/                 [FAILED]
------------------------------------

For reasons I don't understand,
I have /usr/src/kernels/2.6.40-4.fc15.i686/
(provided by kernel-devel-2.6.40-4.fc15.i686)
but not /usr/src/kernels/2.6.40-4.fc15.i686.PAE/
