Mismatch in kernel source tree name

Needing a kernel source tree, I did a

yum install kernel-devel

But there is a problem with the symbolic links.

In /lib/modules I have:

/lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp

(I don't have a UP kernel installed)

and that contains a symbolic link build, pointing to:

../../../usr/src/kernels/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4-smp-i686

But kernel-devel installs to:

/usr/src/kernels/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4-i686

(i.e. no smp).

So when I attempt a make in the ov511 2.28 driver source, it fails to
find the build directory for the running kernel.

What action should I take to correct this?
(change the build link, or try editing the makefile for ov511 driver)?
