Samuel: 

   In order to get moduleversions.h, you need to configure the kernel to 
set versions on all modules before doing a `make dep`.   This can be
accompliched by `make config` (long), `make menuconfig`, or `make
xconfig`.  Then you should get moduleversions.h in your
/usr/src/linux/include directory.
