When you compile, does the -I... include path point to the proper kernel
header files for the kernel that you attempt to install with?

If you need extra, "magic" defines to work with your specific
distribution's weird kernel build, the EXTRACFLAGS make variable is
provided for this purpose.  For instance, for the Scyld Beowulf system
we have to build three sets of drivers with the following flags:

# Build for beoboot
make -s EXTRACFLAGS="-D__BOOT_KERNEL_H_ -D__BOOT_KERNEL_BEOBOOT=1 -D__MODULE_KERNEL_i386=1" KERNVER="%{uts_release}"

# Build for SMP
make -s EXTRACFLAGS="-D__BOOT_KERNEL_H_ -D__BOOT_KERNEL_SMP=1 -D__MODULE_KERNEL_%{_target_cpu}=1" KERNVER="%{uts_release}"

# Build for UP
make -s EXTRACFLAGS="-D__BOOT_KERNEL_H_ -D__BOOT_KERNEL_UP=1 -D__MODULE_KERNEL_%{_target_cpu}=1" KERNVER="%{uts_release}"


[[ We actually build seven sets of drivers, for the six combinations of
Generic / Athlon optimized / P4 optimized, times Uni/SMP and simple
size-optimized Beoboot kernels. ]]
