Installing additional kernel modules on YDL5

I'm up and running (yay!)

I need to have OpenAFS on this machine.  The building
process requires
that a kernel module be built, which in turn requires that
headers for
the currently running kernel be available.  They aren't in
the default
install, and "yum install kernel-devel" returns
the rather surprising
result that no such packages exist in the repository.

I've installed the entire kernel source package, copied
kernel-2.6.22-ppc.config to .config, gone into "make
menuconfig" and
come back, but still, the OpenAFS "configure"
script bombs with

checking your OS... configure: error: No usable linux
headers found at /usr/src/linux-2.6.22-0.ydl.rc4

What gives?

Perhaps the tail end of config.log may give some more
clues.

Probably not it, but take a look in /lib/modules/<kernel
version>.
(<kernel version> should be whatever you get with a
'uname -r')

You'll have two sym links in there called 'source' and
'build'.  May
want to check they point to the correct locations.
