Comment 8 for bug 233950

I'm trying to build 3w-9xxx module from 3ware (driver shipped with Ubuntu kernel is oooold and there is no support for my HW RAID):
---
root@devel-ubuntu:~/driver# make
make V=1 -I/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-xen/build/drivers/scsi -C /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-xen/build SUBDIRS=/home/spock/driver modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-19-xen'
test -e include/linux/autoconf.h -a -e include/config/auto.conf || ( \
        echo; \
        echo " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \
        echo " include/linux/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing."; \
        echo " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."; \
        echo; \
        /bin/false)
mkdir -p /home/spock/driver/.tmp_versions ; rm -f /home/spock/driver/.tmp_versions/*

  WARNING: Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-19-xen/Module.symvers

make prepare gives the same result as for above users:
