[edward winston <ewinston@xxxxxxx>]

I was having the same problems, and here is what i did "

1) make cloneconfig
2) export MAKEFLAGS=O=/usr/src/linux-obj/$ARCH/$FLAVOR
3) sh <nviddia>.run --kernel-source-path=/usr/src/linux

and all went fine.

The MAKEFLAGS also allowed me to build the vmware modules.  Make just needs
to know where to find the scripts it needs.  This information is located in
the README.SUSE file in the /usr/src/linux directory, i believe.

Good Luck,
edward
