Folks, I am really tired to discuss this over and over again. If you have any reasonable idea - you are welcome. But before please, take time to read kernel makefiles and understand the problem. PLEASE try to understand why you get this problem when you compile unmodified kernel source. PLEASE do not forget - you must not need to configure your kernel before you compile EXTERNAL module (as example, nVidia). PLEASE remember that Mandrake has 5 (five!) kernel flavours and you can compile external modules for any of them WITHOUT RECONFIGURATION IN BETWEEN. PLEASE look into this "regenrated files" in clean kernel-source and after you have reconfigured your kernel. -andrej
