As mentioned, you need to tell it the kernel version you actually want
to build for, but on top of that, the kernel-uname-r Provides: don't
exist in the RHEL5 kernel, only in recent Fedora kernels, so some tweaks
are needed there as well.
If/when someone has a basic example of akmod that works on fedora+epel, please
post it and I'll try to follow it.
