Thanks Michael,

I recently did a yum upgrade that updated the kernel, but not the 
kernel-headers.  I started snooping and noticed the old fc* packages and 
ignorantly thought this might be related to the original problem.

I think I updated when the kernel rpm was on the yum server, but not the 
kernel-headers package.  I'm not sure.

I just did another update and the kernel & kernel headers were properly 
updated.

Thanks again,
Pete
