I received an error message trying to run a configure script for LVM. One message I saw stated that I should "Consider using the --with-kernel_dir flag" and I have seen the "use with-kernel_dir flag" comment is other documentation.
I have a slight feeling it meant to complain that you don't have the kernel source installed. If installed it should be able to guess where it is ;-) Find the kernel-source RPM package on your SuSE CD and install that (you may also have to add ncurses-devel or so). Copy the .config out of your /boot into /usr/src/linux and run a make menuconfig and save the file.
