I'm attempting to set up a Windows XP virtual machine using KVM

KVM version 0.9.1 (kvm-62) on a kernel version 2.6.24-22-server.
I warmly suggest updating to a later, much newer, KVM version.
Specifically qcow2 format had corruption bugs similar to what
described below.

Thanks for the suggestion!
Unfortunately, I'm using a "long term support" version of the OS to
avoid having to screw with the machine all the time. It serves a real
purpose with real uptime requirements :-)
That being said, I tried uninstalling the provided kvm package, and
downloading and building kvm-87 from source (the kvm-87.tar.gz tarball
on Sourceforge). Unfortunately, after running configure, and make, it
errors out on the following sub-make:
root@svn:/usr/local/src/kvm-87# make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.24-22-server/build M=`pwd` \
LINUXINCLUDE="-I`pwd`/include -Iinclude \
-Iarch/x86/include -I`pwd`/include-compat \
-include include/linux/autoconf.h \
-include `pwd`/x86/external-module-compat.h " \
"$@"
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.24-22-server/build: No such file or
directory. Stop.
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make: *** [kvm-kmod] Error 2

There is no /lib/modules/2.6.24-22-server/build on my machine. Creating
it doesn't help; it just complains that the sub-make has no target or
file specified.
I looked in the build documentation on linux-kvm.org, but it does not
mention anything like this, or any particular requirements. It just says
"configure, then make," which is what I'm doing. I'm pasting the
print-out from configure below, if anyone has the opportunity to take a
look at it I'd appreciate it.
Sincerely,
