 Hi Peter,

   I think I see the problem.  You need to use linux-2.6.18.tar.bz2 from
upstream (ie. kernel.org).  The linux-source package is modified for the
distribution and likely won't work.  Try using this for your Linux
tar.bz:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.18.tar.bz2

If you don't pre-seed a Linux tar.bz2 into the build directories, the
build process will attempt to wget the right version automatically.
Thanks,

        Alex
