Ok, It makes more sense, Well that can be a couple of things that you can do before you go to recompile your kernel.
1. Check if your build soft link is pointing to the right directory which is /usr/src/linux '/lib/lib/modules/2.6.8-1-k7/' being on the directory /lib/lib/modules/2.6.8-1-k7/#ls -l must show a line like the following lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Aug 15 17:57 build -> \ /usr/src/2.6.8-1-k7 also you must have a soft link under /usr/src/ that you can create like /usr/src/#ln -s 2.6.8-1-k7 linux 2. Generally the modversions.h file is on the path /usr/src/linux/include/config/modversions.h you can try the following line /usr/src/linux/#find ./ -name modversions.h If everything is on place, then try to edit source file in order to find your modversions.h header. You must have your kernel source in order to compile this module. Regards.
