akm@xxxxxxx:~/alex/2004/12> ls /lib/modules/2.6.5-7.111-default/build/
akm@xxxxxxx:~/alex/2004/12> ls /lib/modules/2.6.5-7.111-default/
build   modules.alias   modules.ieee1394map  modules.pcimap
extra   modules.ccwmap  modules.inputmap     modules.symbols
kernel  modules.dep     modules.isapnpmap    modules.usbmap
