Please let me know if i am. ok looking into the current makefile in /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.339/build there is look sto use a variable KBUILD_EXTMOD instead of the SUBDIRS which does go to use /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.339/build istead of source tree however the problem remains you need write access in /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.339/build hence needing root privledges or to change permissions on that part of the tree new output as user make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build modules make[1]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.339/build' SPLIT include/linux/autoconf.h -> include/config/* touch: cannot touch `include/config/MARKER': Permission denied make[1]: *** [include/config/MARKER] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.339/build' make: *** [default] Error 2 Dennis -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAizQtkSxm47BaWfcRAqJBAJ9kE8rSrSx6DTqRL4r/a2epl/a4NwCePkmM R9aryZp/FTt1HOJnog8qbw8= =DD3t -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
