That's not the problem. the problem is that modversions.h just isn't
there:

parker:/usr/src# find . -name modversions.h
./kernel-headers-2.4.18-bf2.4-xfs/include/linux/modversions.h
./kernel-headers-2.4.18-bf2.4-xfs/include/config/modversions.h

I've got both the source and headers of the new kernel in '/usr/src',
and 'find' only point to the old kernel headers directory.

I am running as root but I didn't load the 'sg' module. I'll try that as
soon as I'm able to reboot.
