In case you have not got answers from use...@li...
Try this... I use Makefile different from yours. Copied the simplest
when i first started
and stuck with it's style.

/* Sample make file , assuming your driver code is
 named driver.c */
obj-m += driver.o
all:
        make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules ARCH=um
clean:
        make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) clean ARCH=um
/* end sample make file */

See to it that "/lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build" points to the
kernel source.

[root@_UMLKERNEL_@localhost dd]# ls -l /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Dec 20  2007 /lib/modules/2.6.23.11/build ->
../../../umlkernel/linux-2.6.23.11/
[root@_UMLKERNEL_@localhost dd]#

My huch is there is something with your makefile, do we still need to
pass-D_KERNEL_ (etc)
in 2.6. This was done with 2.4.

Hope this help you in narrowing down the problem.
