Has anyone else had problems getting win4lin working on this latest
version of openSUSE?

I ran the pre-install commands no problem at all

sudo zypper install gcc make automake \
autoconf kernel-source kernel-headers

This installed linux-2.6.31.5-0.1

win4lin also installed fine. however the error message that gets
logged when win4lin attempts to configure its device drivers is:

ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.
include/linux/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are
missing.
Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it.

Those files are indeed missing from the /usr/src/linux-2.6.31.5-0.1/
directory. What I don't understand is have I done something wrong, or
is win4lin not yet compatible with 11.2? and more importantly what can
I do to fix the problem, I'm not sure what is meant by run 'make
oldconfig'.

Any assistance or clues from anyone would be much appreciated, thanks.

Run 'make oldconfig' and 'make prepare' means you should run those
commands. Go to the source folder from the kernel you are running and
run the commands. First 'make oldconfig' and then 'make prepare'.
(Without the quote mark of course) I don't know much about building
kernel modules,but those commands are involved with preparing the
kernel for installing new modules. I haven't tried to install win4lin
in a while, try those two commands and see if it works.
