Hi Davide,

The kernel headers corresponding to the compiled kernel used should be
sufficient.  I don't know about Mandrake but in the case of Debian (that
also provides compiled packages), both the kernel sources and the kernel
headers were made available as packages.  So look if you can get
packages with sources that corresponds to the compiled kernel.
