  That does indeed look like the "wrong kernel for the architecture"
problem.  The i586 package is apparently installed, and going to be
erased to allow the i686 package (which is doubtless the correct one).

  That makes it sound like you've already got some kernel-devel
packages installed.  Hmmm.  It may be that you have the needed
packages, but the build script wasn't finding them.

Run

	uname -r

to find out what kernel you're currently running.  I also suggest you
find out what kernel-related packages are installed:

	rpm -qa | grep kernel

If needed, post the results, and we can figure out what (if anything)
needs to be cleaned up.  :)
