SuSE has probably changed the HZ definition to be based on configuration
option or something similar and something is not included when compiling
external modules.. Could you tell me where I can download SuSE 2.4.21-99
kernel? I tried to find it from a mirror of SuSE ftp site, but it was
nowhere to be found (well, maybe in an ISO image or something, but I'm
not going to download 650 MB to get a look at one header file).

I see nothing wrong in having HZ on that line, so I'm not going to
change that unless someone can show that this is really needed and the
correct fix.

Did you try compiling with just 'make'? This uses the kernel Makefile to
compile the module and whatever was done to HZ definition, has a better
change of working..
