Are trying to build a kernel module which is included in kernel or "3rd
party" module? For "3rd party" modules kernel-devel works just fine.

kernel-devel has minimum files to build kernel modules. It's not a
complete kernel source. You are not supposed to run make commands in
/usr/src/kernels/* . If you need the full kernel source you need to
use source rpm package.
