[NTLUG:Discuss] No modversions.h in SuSE 9.2?

[Bryan J. Smith]

Yes, but make sure you use the same Makefile/.config as your current, running kernel.
Otherwise "make dep" will generate a different configuration.
I.e., you'll probably get symbols errors.

And now I know why Red Hat has moved to just requiring people to use the kernel .src.rpm.
It's a much more controlled setup for building modules. With the RPM staging.
It can build the exact tree for your running distro with little  difficulty.

I also understand that you may need to run "make 
dep" on your kernel sources, which will generate modversions.h
