You need to install the source for this kernel. You may already have a kernel source installed, but it may not match the kernel you are running (as it should!). You can install your kernel source through MCC - Install software - Search for "source" and install "kernel-source-2.6.8.1-12mdk". That should do it for you.

Problem solved!
I went into my Mandrake control center, uninstalled the kernel-source 2.6.8.1-24mdk. I then went to the INSTALL in the Mandrake control center and *POOF*, I could now install the kernel-source 2.6.8.1-12mdk. I installed it, reinstalled my ATI drivers, and now I am successfully running the new driver version in X.org 6.8!
----------------------------------------------
It gives me this:
[ken@ken ken]$ uname -r
2.6.8.1-12mdk
It turns out that I do have my kernel sources installed, but it's this:
kernel-source-2.6.-2.6.8.1-24mdk
Does that matter that I'm using kernel 2.6.8.1-12, but I have kernel-source 2.6.8.1-24? I originally did install my kernel-source 2.6.8.1-12mdk, but Mandrake had an update and they updated my kernel-source to 2.6.8.1-24mdk, and now I cannot find kernel-source 2.6.8.1-12mdk anymore in the Mandrake Control Center. Should I remove kernel-source 2.6.8.1-24??
I searched for kernel-source and found this that matched my version instead:
kernel-source-stripped-2.6-2.6.8.1-12mdk
Should I installed this "stripped" version???
