This is a 32-bit kernel. It might run on AMD64, but you're trying to compile the 64-bit Nvidia module
A 64-bit kernel should have something like (this is my self-compiled kernel):
$ uname -a Linux gromit 2.4.21-202-default #1 Fri Feb 20 08:12:57 UTC 2004 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
the darkness lifts ...
Which is a 32-bit product that runs fine on AMD64 but does not take full advantage of the architecture,
and may explain my problems with some parts of the system - e.g. sound card not working. just ordered the suse9 amd64 package let's hope for the best. tks for your help Juergen
