reg: modules make in Ubuntu

[Tej Parkash]

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-15-generic'
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/linux/utsrelease.h
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `arch/i386/kernel/msr.c', needed
by `arch/i386/kernel/msr.o'.  Stop.
make[1]: *** [arch/i386/kernel] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-15-generic'
make: *** [all] Error 2

what the hack is this. no kernel version is having this file in this
particular location as asked in error. then why this error is coming
in this kernel version.

Looks like you are trying to build a kernel but have only headers
judging from the directoryname.

Could you please prove a bit more context if you need additional help.
Like (but not limited to):
-> Actual commandline
-> Any own kbuild/Makefiles
-> .config

yaa u r correct
but i am wondering like how those file can be missed from the required
location. if they are so important to build the module.. even if it is
missed is there any other procedure to build the module
i am trying it on other kernel version.
