I'm sorry I'm picking up a little late in this thread, but from what I 
gather everyone is bitching about the lost functionality that stems from 
there being no more kernel-source package.  What on earth is wrong with 
installing <kernel-version>.src.rpm, and doing an:

rpmbuild -bp kernel.spec

It gets you the same source tree that you otherwise have had, and lets 
you build all the modules you could ever want.
