Code:
grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda1
# initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=1
timeout=0
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora (2.6.32.3)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32.3 ro root=UUID=21d34cba-e758-4a3d-8f2f-e98988868a68 rhgb quiet
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.32.3.img
title Fedora (2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 ro root=UUID=21d34cba-e758-4a3d-8f2f-e98988868a68 rhgb quiet
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686.img
"default" is set to 1 (grub start counting to 0), and it's the standard fedora kernel. More over, you have a time out of 0, that means that the menu to choose the kernel is not displayed, add 5 or 10 to display it 5 (or 10) seconds before booting with the default kernel.

Kindly post the output of 'make' command ! |

Remove ONLY the following files from your folder and then do make and insmod again:
Code:
rm Module.symvers modules.order kernel.o kernel.mod.o kernel.mod.c kernel.ko

I didn't install any special kernel on my comp.
I am working with the default kernel on OpenSuse 11.2
I suppose u should fix your kernel problem (uname -r) first and then try anything else, coz. now kernel problem is the only difference between your comp and my comp w.r.t insmod !
