usually when you install your kernel, some source files are installed in
/lib/modules/2.6.5/ . Normally this happens when you do a 'make
modules_install' after the kernel has been compiled. I don't know how you
installed your kernel, but version.h definitely should exist there.
Note that /usr/src/linux is something different than
/lib/modules/2.6.5/, because the latter is (always) your current kernel.
