Hi Everyone

I've installed the drbd0.7-module-source and module assistant.
Its prepare command set up the build environment but when I try to build the module it fails.
I get the following in the error log:

/usr/bin/make -C /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-server/build
SUBDIRS=/usr/src/modules/drbd/drbd  modules

When I do a list I get this message:

drbd0.7-module-source (source) installed (V: 0.7.21-4ubuntu1):
-- Binary package(s) for kernel(s):
	+ (2.6.20-15-server): not found
Some packages could not be found. The "search" command can search in the
package pool for precompiled packages.

It seems like all should be ok, but the build doesn't work. 
I've done a clean server install before trying this.

Might the packages be broken or what am I missing?

Kind Regards,
Barry
