well, to check if you have the source code installed for your kernel, ( if you are using the download edition you probably do ) just go to /usr/src/linux and make sure all the directories are there. if you are not sure, just put the first mandrake cd in your cd-reader and type " urpmi kernel-source " without the quotes. it will say it will install other packages as well to resolve dependencies. say yes to everithing and that will be it. i guess all of your other suppositions are correct.. try them and if you get any more trouble post back.
