I had run oldconfig and prepare, and the files are not missing:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12985 2007-06-30 08:46 include/config/auto.conf

Doesn't look serious, in spite of the tag!

Cheers,
Dave

Hi,

I'm closing this bug as it is not a real bug.

Before trying to compile an external module with a vanilla (or not)
kernel you have to check that your kernel sources are ready for this.

In your case the build log show that you have tried to build the
module without preparing the sources. First, you have to :

make oldconfig or make config or make menuconfig
then
make prepare

in the kernel source tree and finally you should be able to build the
module.

Notice : module builds fine with debian kernels 2.6.21 and 2.6.22.

cheers,
