I just got a new mobo, it’s a M2N-Sli. I did a reinstall of Suse 10.3 and it didn’t pick up my onboard sound, or any sound card for that matter. I went to install my chipset drivers that was included on my the driver cd that came with my motherboard.
Steps Taken:
Ran NFORCE-Linux-x86-1[1].0-0311-pkg1.run
Su to root and issued Sh NFORCE-Linux-x86-1[1].0-0311-pkg1.run
in the console. Selected to install the Nvidia Audio Drivers.
Following Errors messages:
ERROR: The kernel header file
'/lib/modules/2.6.22.5-31-default/build/include/linux/kernel.h' does
not exist. The most likely reason for this is that the kernel source
path '/lib/modules/2.6.22.5-31-default/build' is incorrect. Please
make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel;
on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the
'kernel-source' rpm installed. If you know the correct kernel source
files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the
'--kernel-source-path' commandline option
Used yast to reinstall my kernel sources… No Luck still not picking up the kernel sources.
Used the following error messages, and manually found my kernel sources and specified the directory. Issued
sh NFORCE-Linux-x86-1\[1\].0-0311-pkg1.run --kernel-source-path /usr/src/linux-2.6.22.18-0.2/include/linux/kernel.h
Still said it couldn’t find my kernel source.
If this helps here is the error Log:

Are you trying to install your graphics? or your sound? If your sound, try working your way through the openSUSE audio troubleshooting guide: SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE
At first I was surprised your M2N-Sli works under 10.3 at all. I note from the Linux incompatibility list: Motherboards
ASUS M2N-E SLI (KERNEL < 2.6.20) listed.
But then I noted the "KERNEL < 2.6.20 " and openSUSE-10.3 comes with 2.6.22.18-0.2 after updates.
So I recommend you try the troubleshooting guide and let us know how it works out.
