kernel-2.6.20-1

hi,

i just did a pacman -Suy and it upgraded my system and everything is working great so far.
now when i try to compile a module for a dvb adapter

i get "Could not identify kernel"

when i do uname -r it splits back 2.6.20-ARCH   in /usr/src/  i have linux-2.6.20-ARCH

and doing this...
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
bash: /lib/modules/2.6.20-ARCH/build: is a directory

/lib/modules/`uname -r`/source
bash: /lib/modules/2.6.20-ARCH/source: is a directory

both the build and source symlink points to /usr/src/linux-2.6.20-ARCH/
chances are i need the kernel sources, but i can't seem to find the package to install the source with pacman

any tips on how i would get this module for dvb to compile?

many thanks

Re: kernel-2.6.20-1

everything seems fine...
bash: /lib/modules/2.6.20-ARCH/build: is a directory
bash is right (:
what module for dvb?

Re: kernel-2.6.20-1

is that the only error you are getting some output from compiling dvb module may help?

Re: kernel-2.6.20-1

thanks for all teh reply.  i managed a crude hack to fix the errors, but i just now notice that udev won't create the /dev/dvb nodes :S more googling. but if anyone have any ideas, tips or links, it will be greatly appreciated

cheers
