The general setup for SuSE kernels is to have "/lib/modules/{kernel-name
uname -r for the running kernel}/build" point back into a "built" kernel
tree that contains .config's, symvers, and anything else needed for
building modules for each of the shipped kernel versions. When the
kernel-source rpm gets updated those kernel build trees get replaced.
For example, on my 10.1 system the I installed with a
2.6.16.13-4-default kernel that was then updated to a 2.6.16.21-0.13
kernel. within the new kernel source trees, there are bigsmp, debug,
default, kdump, smp, um, xen, and xenpae kernels built off the full
sources in /usr/src/linux-2.6.16.21-0.13 directory. Typically you can
build successfully, for the running kernel, by using /lib/modules/`uname
-r`/build. for the linux kernel sources.
This is pretty much the standard arrangement for systems based on Linux
2.6, regardless of the particular distribution in use. In fact, it is
often the case that /usr/src/linux, if it exists at all, is an unconfigured
source tree not suitable for building kernel modules. This is why OpenAFS
defaults to using /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build on 2.6 systems. If that
directory did not exist on your system, then it is likely that you haven't
installed enough packages.
