Wait...  Where's this 2.4.22-1.2199.nptl_afs_ssi_9smp coming from?

Can you send me the output of:

ls -l /lib/modules/
ls -l /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2199.nptl_afs_ssi_9
ls -l /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2199.nptl_afs_ssi_9smp

So it looks like /lib/modules isn't pointing to the proper 'build' 
directory.. You aren't getting the right kernel header sources.  This 
is a bug in your
install, IMHO.
