Please help!

All I want to do is this:

make -C /usr/src/linux- 'uname -r' SUBDIRS='pwd' modules

I can't do it because /usr/src/linux blah blah is not there. How can I do this?

Why are you using that command? If you want though, create a symlink to your kernel source.

ln -s /usr/src/linux-version-number /usr/src/linux

When installing the new kernels [version 2.6] you only need to do:

cd /usr/src/linux
make && make modules_install

You probably don't have your kernel source installed in /usr/src/linux-`uname -r`. According to your profile, you're running a 2.6 kernel on a RH9 system, so you or someone must've done some custom tweaking to the system since RH9 used a 2.4 kernel by default. You need replace the /usr/src etc. part with the actual location of your kernel source.

Oh, and please use more descriptive subject headers. "Please help!" doesn't give anyone who might want to respond to your post any idea of what your post is about.

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.

also, that's a really really bad title...
