I am a bit confused, I think I need some clarification as in the 
tutorial it's written :
#

insmod /<path_to_drm_tree_above>//linux-core/i915.ko

I understood that it was /root/drm/linux-core/i915.ko, as the drm.ko is 
build as is present at /root/drm/linux-core/drm.ko ?
Again I thought i915.ko would have been build with
make -C linux-core.
The kernel source are found by the scripts that need it and as the drm 
module from (/root/drm...) can be loaded, I guess it is build against 
the right kernel (e.g 2.6.27), am I right ?
I think I completely missed the point of your indication, and I don't to 
waste anybody's time, so may be you have a reference where I can see 
what I am doing wrong.
