You will have to compile your module like this only (and thus will need to name your Makefile "Makefile" only and not "Makefile.kern"): make -C ../linux-2.6.25/ M=`pwd` modules The reason is when you give -C option to the make, you are actually changin to the kernel tree and using the top level Makefile there which has rules to recurse into each directory and us "Makefile" there (not Makefile.kern).
