   Looks like your problem is completely different than mine, my guess is 
that your distro keeps the ko file gzipped, and that since you later mentioned
that your make install is failing, you never really install 0.12, which fully 
explains why your log says version 0.8 installed, it _is_ the one that is 
installed (unlike my situation, where both versions had a ko file and 0.80 
was the one that got loaded).

   That's your problem.... you need to solve it and unfortunately, I can't 
help, I'm not at all familiar with Mandrake and it makes and installs fine 
here.

   Hopefully someone on the list will have a pointer for you.
