    Yast2 most recently - the files were there... but the arrangement should
    have been as I noted - right?

    The problem I was trying to mention was that it *wasn't* a link. The small
    /usr/src/linux 'tree' had the .config, vmlinuz.version.h, vmlinuz.autoconf.h
    files in the locations mentioned... and the rest of the tree was in
    /usr/src/linux-2.2.16.. as it should've been - but /usr/src/linux was not a
    symlink.

    The notes in the original post details what I did to *fix* the problem.

    <snip>

    mv /usr/src/linux/include/linux/vmlinuz.autoconf.h
    /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/linux

    mv /usr/src/linux/include/linux/vmlinuz.version.h
    /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/linux

    mv /usr/src/linux/.config /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/.config

    ln -sf /usr/src/linux-2.2.16 /usr/src/linux
