Well, the first person that says that the kernel sources must NOT be in /usr/src was Linus, but I think that this only affects things at 'build' time (like build the base system for a distribution) so it's the same put in /kernelsource or /usr/src since the build symlink in /lib/modules/$(uname -r) points to the 'original' source code where the kernel was compiled. My kernels sources are in /kernelsource and I don't have any problems. Saludos. -olr
