here is the problem, kernel-source. You need kernel-default-devel or
kernel-<type>-devel for the required hearder files to build.

And also kernel-source. Actually, the -devel package contains what the 'make cloneconfig prepare' sequence would have modified in the "classic" - -source package.

both packages are needed. I forgot this difference in factory to previous releases.


Actually, Peter: look up that thread, there is info there you should read.
