	Well, I think my makefile is really generic... Just tried in
at least three different machines and distributions, but anyway, is your
option

I'm already a real man ! :P Just doesn't like to patch kernel for only
making tests, not a permanent work... Is too hard mantaining several
kernel patches at the same time

Anyway... I get my makefile to compile ( just adding several minor changes
in Makefile and #include <linux/version.h> in source code ). A problem still
remains: when insmoding gives me an stupid message as "unresolved references:
printk ". Expecting to solve it this week
