I installed kernel-source, made oldconfig and modules_prepare before running the installer.
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.
on 11.2, kernel-source is *not* required, but kernel-<flavor>-devel *is* required. I do *not* have kernel-source installed and have no problems installing any version of the NVIDIA driver that I have tried (x86_64). Also, no manipulations are required other than running the script and answering the questions while in runlevel 3. I use: sh ./NVIDIA-flavor.run -a

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