Thank you, Florin. I'd stumbled on that link much earlier and 
there very few posts about fixes. Now, there seems to be a number 
of suggested paths. I think I'm going to back up my grub.conf and 
try the rpm -Uvh force method that you used. Unlike you, I 
actually have the correct kernel-devel.
However, I have the wrong kernel-headers, and, at least on the 
first repo I checked, I couldn't find any kernel-headers package 
BUT the 386 arch - no 586 or 686
