Same  problem noted here. I also observed that these errors referenced 
kernel versions that I no longer have on this system. The error seems to 
be related to kernel-devel because the errors included an uninstalled 
kernel, however the devel packages ae never removed.

kernel-devel-2.6.11-1.1236_FC4 - error referenced
kernel-devel-2.6.11-1.1238_FC4 - need to manually remove
kernel-devel-2.6.11-1.1240_FC4
kernel-devel-2.6.11-1.1251_FC4

vs.

  rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.6.11-1.1240_FC4
kernel-2.6.11-1.1251_FC4

Another datapoint concerns compiling vmware where the later kernels 
would lock up th system after the act of compiling the modules.

Running 1251 without network problems surrounding connectivity also.
