There is a massive language problem here.
I'm not running a namby-pamby OS where you have no root access, I don't need to 
do a "sudo".
Mandriva has full root access when you log on as root.  ALL builds and installs 
were done as root.

The only way I could get your RPM to load and appear on the RPM data-base was 
to use the "--force"
and "--nodeps" flags, that was after removing the fragments of your software 
from my system.
I can use other OEM installer to build modules without problems.

It is your installer which does not function on Mandriva kernel-2.6.22-9 in all 
of its variants.
That includes desktop, server, etc.

The features in Kernel-linus-2.6.23.1-1mdv will be back ported in to 
kernel-2.6.22-10mdv, then
maybe you software might compile on a 2.6.22 kernel.
