Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.

you might try (as root)
`yum install kernel-devel`
which should get you the kernel headers to go with your kernel.
when the yum install is done you should be able to do:
`ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2069_FC4/build/Makefile`
and have it find a file... mine comes back as
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 44832 Mar 28 12:43
/lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2069_FC4/build/Makefile
$ rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/src/kernels/2.6.16-1.2069_FC4-i686/Makefile
kernel-devel-2.6.16-1.2069_FC4

Note: if the kernel-devel is not installed a yum _update_ will not install it.

Note: you generally do not want to use -U on your kernels, because if your
machine does not like the new one, you no longer have the old one when rpm -U
gets done.
