I have the same problem trying to compile the driver for Fedora Core I have installed and boted 3 different kernel-BOOT rpms but each time it creates a module for the UP kernel. I have loked htrough the Makefile and cant see anything that dictates this action it is almost as if the module cant be built for a BOt kernel.
