I'm playing with the spec files and changing the value in the define to 
the latest kernel. I am going to try uname -r in the spec files after I 
get the needed src files for everything. I believe all needed devel 
packages are now installed. uname -r seems rational with an option to 
specify which kernel that you desire the modules to be built for.

Next stop, bugzilla.

Thanks!
