If you delete the line:

FOUND_PCI_DEV_SLOT_NAME := $(shell grep -q 'slot_name' ${REAL_KERNELSRC}/include/linux/pci.h 2>/dev/null && echo -DFOUND_PCI_DEV_ SLOT_NAME)

in modules/Makefile, and rerun 'make install', then it will work (but not for some 2.4 kernels but I don't imagine you are using them).

A new symbol has been added in include/linux/pci.h which has affected that rather half-baked test in the Makefile.
