Are you using Debian? Debian includes a set of custom kernel headers
instead of using the symlinks suggested by the README file in the
top level of the kernel source. I would suggest reading this file,
probably located at /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.0/README under Debian,
and replacing the custom kernel headers with symlinks to the actual
kernel include files. I have had no trouble with module compilation
after I adjusted this silliness in Debian 1.1.

Hope this helps.
Erik
