I've upgraded my desktop to the latest kernel update today:
$ rpm -qa | grep kernel | sort
kernel-desktop-2.6.31.12-0.2.1.x86_64
kernel-desktop-base-2.6.31.12-0.2.1.x86_64
kernel-desktop-devel-2.6.31.12-0.2.1.x86_64
kernel-source-2.6.31.12-0.2.1.noarch
linux-kernel-headers-2.6.31-3.4.noarch

and as a result the latest NVIDIA driver from the NVIDIA web site
(NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-195.36.15-pkg2.run) won't reinstall because of
the following error:

ERROR: The kernel header file '/usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h' does
not exist.  The most likely reason for this is that the kernel source
files in '/usr/src/linux' have not been configured.

This was never an issue before. Anyone else having the same problem?
Seems like a packaging problem with the kernel-source package, doesn't
it?

Works for me 11.2, x64.

kernel-desktop-2.6.31.12-0.2.1.x86_64
kernel-desktop-devel-2.6.31.12-0.2.1.x86_64
kernel-source-2.6.31.12-0.2.1.noarch
linux-kernel-headers-2.6.31-3.4.noarch

Interesting. I've looked at the SUSE kernel readme in the
kernel-source rpm, and it mentions an /etc/init.d/running-kernel
script whose job is to adapt the "generic" kernel sources in
/usr/src/linux to the particular kernel flavor such as kernel-desktop
one boots into using files in
/usr/src/linux-2.6.31.12-0.2-obj/x86_64/desktop. For some reason, my
machine does not have /etc/init.d/running-kernel, and some symlinks
between /usr/src/linux and
/usr/src/linux-2.6.31.12-0.2-obj/x86_64/desktop are missing as a
result, and that probably explains the issue.

Does anyone have the /etc/init.d/running-kernel script, and if so
which package contributes it (rpm -qf /etc/init.d/running-kernel)?

Thanks,
Vadym
