about kernel version

[elife]

Hi Williams,
  Thanks for your reply. I tried your method but encountered below error
while compiled kernel module:
make[1]: *** [/home/elife/sw/src/2.6.18/dm9601.o] error 136
make: *** [_module_/home/elife/sw/src/2.6.18] error 2
make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2824.olpc1-i586'

Same error occured when I build another kernel module. If I point kernel
path to olpc-2.6, they are build fine. Is kernel-develop package not enough?

My toolchain is:
gcc version 4.0.1 (4.0.1-5mdk for Mandriva Linux release 2006.0)
GNU ld version 2.17.50.0.1 20060427

Best regards!
