Installation problems with Suse 9.x

I have the following problems with two different computers on Suse 9.1 
and 9.2. I have used both Comedi-0.7.69/Comedilib-0.7.22 and 
Comedi-0.7.70/Comedilib-0.7.22

For some reason,  the irq  includes are not handled correctly  by  the 
configure routine.
if I add "INCLUDES = -I/usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386/mach-default" to 
the Makefiles, it compiles with no errors.

Comedilib compiles and installs fine.

My card is a National Instruments 6023E.

When I do "modprobe ni_pcimio" I get
 - from  tail /var/log/messages:

Jul  1 08:23:24 r6d -- MARK --
Jul  1 08:28:57 r6d kernel: comedi: no version for "struct_module" 
found: kernel tainted.

Jul  1 08:28:58 r6d kernel: ni_pcimio: unsupported module, tainting kernel.

comedi_config will associate ni_pcimio with /dev/comedi0.

Are these messages important or do they just indicate some 2.4 / 2.6 
variation? How do I fix them? 

Also, How can I get the driver to load at boot time. I tried putting 
entries into /etc/modprobe.conf.local but nothing happens. I may not - 
read probably don't - know the correct syntax for the entry.
