Make sure that when you 'make-kpkg <options here> kernel_image kernel_headers'
that you have that kernel_headers target in there. Then install the kernel
headers themselvs along with the kernel image. Once the headers are installed
creat a symlink to the directory by 'ln -sf kernel-headers-2.4.21/
linux-2.4.21'
Once that is done, reboot and then 'make && make install' in the nforce/
directory. I'm not sure why, but the Makefile for the nforce drivers relies
on the modversions.h file which is only in the kenel headers. It will also
only build the module for the currently running kernel (without modifying the
Makefile).
