Ok this is the error that I get when I compile

        make -C /lib/modules/2.6.23.14-107.fc8/build/ SUBDIRS=/home/eric/cvs/lircfc8/lirc/drivers/lirc_mceusb2 modules \
                KBUILD_VERBOSE=1
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.23.14-107.fc8-x86_64'
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)

Try both the make oldconfig and make prepare will not fix this error. Both the files autoconf.h and auto.conf are in the correct locations...... I know the source code worked in FC7.  Any ideas?
