Try:

make KERNELPATH=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.15-1.1955_FC5-i686

or:

make KERNELPATH=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build

That's where kernel-devel installs most of the kernel headers and such.
I think you're directing to the location of the the files the SRPM
installs, which aren't used for building things against the kernel, but
are used for building the kernel itself.
