The */source is a soft link to */build and build t's a soft link to this directory /usr/src/kernels/2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64 which does not exist. does this mean i have to rebuild my kernel? if so i dont know where to begin. Thanks a lot for everyones help.

I am not sure what had done in the past to get /usr/src/kernels/2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.x86_64 You or someone had probably booted kernel 2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.x86_64 and then installed kernel-devel.
