You need to get the key, usually downloadable from the same place, or in 
this case, likely present on an old speakkup-modified
Fedora cd.
You need to import it using rpm, I forgot the syntax.

After installation, do rpm -q kernel
You should see more than one listed. Cut and paste the correct name onto 
the line:
rpm -e kernelX
Where X is the rest of the name.
