Having kernel-syms installed does seem to help in my experience.
It also seems to keep kernel upgrades on track when they are announced,
because it too gets upgraded.

Version.h is in
/usr/src/linux/include/linux  (which, I'm sure you know is just a link to
 /usr/src/<actual-kernel-version>/include/linux/

If that is not there, your link named /usr/src/linux is broken.
It should point to a sub directory named linux-2.6.xx.xx.....

Or, your kernel source is incomplete somehow.

It would be worth tracking this down, as it will come to haunt you again,
(promise)   ;-)
