You can find the missing file in the kernel source package. You find it as /usr/source/linux-source-2.6.31.6.tar.bz2
It comes with the DVD, or you can install it.

# sudo tar jzf linux-source-2.6.31.6.tar.bz2
# ls -al linux-source-2.6.31.6/arch/x86/Ma*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6327 Sep  9 22:13 linux-source-2.6.31.6/arch/x86/Makefile
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2314 Sep  9 22:13 linux-source-2.6.31.6/arch/x86/Makefile_32.cpu
# sudo cp -a  linux-source-2.6.31.6/arch/x86/Makefile_32.cpu  /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.31.6/arch/x86

This solves the problem with the missing Makefile - but not necessarily other problems with this kernel version.

I have struggled with exactly the same problem myself today, trying to compile kernel modules for vmware. Which is why I wrote "This solves the problem with the missing Makefile - but not necessarily other problems with this kernel version."

My short-term fix was to downgrade to Knoppix 6.0.1, where kernel headers etc are in order, and I get the modules to compile correctly.

I've just started testing the new 6.2.1 release, and the problems may have gone away.
At least, I run VMware player with no problems there, in fact I'm posting using Firefox in an old W2K virtual machine now.
