Thanks. Yup, i clued into that a few minutes later, removed the 
kernel-devel package, and located the proper one and downloaded it 
manually. I feel like a n00b.

I find it strange, though, that yum would install the incorrect version 
for my running kernel. It's not as if i asked it to update it (and, even 
then, it seems fruitless to fetch a mis-matched package).

I'll try again later this morning.
