this can be easily solved by command "apt-cache search kernel header", or something like that.
I strongly suggest that you should have your own kernel running. It not only solve the compilation problem, but you can also find docs under the "Documentation" directory and hack into the kernel source.
Final thing, this is the right output you should have for compiling your module:
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.10/build M=/home/fei/ldd-3ed-examples/misc-modules modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.10'
CC [M] /home/fei/ldd-3ed-examples/misc-modules/kobject.o
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST
CC /home/fei/ldd-3ed-examples/misc-modules/kobject.mod.o
LD [M] /home/fei/ldd-3ed-examples/misc-modules/kobject.ko
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.10'

Thanks a lot Xiangfei for your pointers.
(Ignore my previous mail, i was not giving "myprobe"
argument to make)
I am facing a different problem now, please give your
suggestion
