Hi!
Something seems to be very wrong, because it wants to link against the
2.2.20 modules!!! Set the KVERS=2.4.18-k7! It took me a long time
to figure out why NVIDIA driver didn't work for me. It's very picky
about the kernel headers you use, which have to be exactly the ones that
your kernel is built with.
HTH,
Michael
