Yes, the package is at any time build for openSUSE 11.1 (based on 2.6.27) and 
openSUSE Factory (11.2 to be). It was 2.6.29 until just a day ago and
it built, the 2.6.30 landed and I got the build failures.

I think I posted at least three more lines of errors log, showing the error:
/usr/src/packages/BUILD/obj/debug/modules/linux/vmblock/include/vm_basic_types.h:145:7:
 warning: "__FreeBSD__" is not defined
/usr/src/packages/BUILD/obj/debug/modules/linux/vmblock/linux/control.c: In 
function 'SetupProcDevice':
/usr/src/packages/BUILD/obj/debug/modules/linux/vmblock/linux/control.c:159: 
error: 'struct proc_dir_entry' has no member named 'owner'
/usr/src/packages/BUILD/obj/debug/modules/linux/vmblock/linux/control.c:171: 
error: 'struct proc_dir_entry' has no member named 'owner'
make[3]: *** 
[/usr/src/packages/BUILD/obj/debug/modules/linux/vmblock/linux/control.o] Error 
1

So the real error is in control.c, lines 159 and 171, where the structure 
proc_dir_entry seems no longer to contain an 'owner'.
