With SuSE, you have the actual kernel-configuration stored in
 /proc/config.gz
I suppose you have the kernel-source rpm of the running kernel installed (since the directory exists), if not do so first.

Then, I suggest you do :

cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-24 (or the appropriate directory from the new kernel-source rpm)
zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
make menuconfig
 --exit it immediately
make dep

and then try to compile the client again.
I don't know if there are some redundant steps in the procedure up there,
but at least it works for me.
