I have a kernel without MODVERSIONS defined (all new SuSE Kernel have this)
This is a kernel version 2.4.4.

The tulip.c I am able to compile with this command:
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 
-I/usr/src/linux/include -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing 
-Wno-trigraphs -fno-common -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -c 
tulip.c

But with the pci-scan.c I fail. I get:
armj@linuxcvs:~/DownLoad > gcc -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -Wall 
-Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -I/usr/src/linux/include -fomit-frame-pointer 
-fno-strict-aliasing -Wno-trigraphs -fno-common -pipe 
-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -DEXPORT_SYMTAB -c pci-scan.c
In file included from pci-scan.c:53:
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/module.h:21: linux/modversions.h: Datei oder 
Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

The error, that modversions.h can not be found is IMHO OK, because the 
modversions.h is only created by 'make dep' if the modversions-option in the 
kernel-config is enabled.

This is the modules-config-section from autoconf.h
/*
 * Loadable module support
 */
#define CONFIG_MODULES 1
#undef  CONFIG_MODVERSIONS
#define CONFIG_KMOD 1


My question is now:
How can I compile the pci-scan.c if MODVERSIONS is disabled?
or must I compile a new kernel? :(

Any hints ???????


Secondary I get problems that some APM functions are not defined, but this 
can I switch off by adding a undef CONFIG_APM in pci-scan.c. This is not the 
best solution, but .... some error lesser
