I think there is something "strange" (I mean new) in the current
kernel-devel for FC4, although I don't know whether I am saying
something relevant or absolutely irrelevant. Just having a look this
evening, here you are:

Since I am unable to go on deeper, the first thing that occurred to me
was to remove, via yum, the kernel-devel 2.6.16*2069* package, and then
install it again. But nothing better...
That's all I can go into.

Regards,
Daniel
