So I made the changes manually from your diff output - for some reason
due to the line wrapping in your mail, patch did not work and it was
easier to do the same changes by hand. I think I have a problem with
my voyage linux build directory as the error message I am getting is
is that /lib/modules/x.y.z-voyage/build directory cannot be found.
Though the /lib/modules/x.y.z-voyage/ directory is there, there is no
subdirectory called build there. How does that get created?

root at voyage:~/iplc/driver/linux-2.6# make cm19a
make -C /lib/modules/3.2.17-voyage/build/
SUBDIRS=/root/iplc/driver/linux-2.6/cm19a.d modules
make: *** /lib/modules/3.2.17-voyage/build/: No such file or directory.  Stop.
make: *** [cm19a] Error 2
root at voyage:~/iplc/driver/linux-2.6# ls /lib/modules/3.2.17-voyage/
kernel             modules.builtin      modules.dep.bin  modules.softdep
modules.alias      modules.builtin.bin  modules.devname  modules.symbols
modules.alias.bin  modules.dep          modules.order    modules.symbols.bin
root at voyage:~/iplc/driver/linux-2.6#

The makefile is very simple, what is usually found in the
/lib/modules/x.y.z-voyage/build/ directory ??
Thanks
