Why do you need this at all? Installing kernel-source.rpm suffices.
i learned in the past, for installing vmware-server, and cisco-vpn-client (which also compile kernel-modules) you have to do "make cloneconfig; make prepare; make modules_prepare"
In general you don't have to do it. Sometimes you need to fix the other side, though -- it's basically a problem of external driver trees. The include files and symbols needed to build kernel modules are already stored in /usr/src/linux*-obj/$ARCH/$FLAVOR. This directory is symlinked from /lib/modules/$VERSION/build, but some external drivers don't refer this correctly (or you may have some options to specify manually). But, nvidia driver tree seems to work as is. Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
