This error is not fatal. The DRM module just failed to compile,
but the other modules compiled fine and the installation succeeded.

Correct, the header file is just missing in the 2.6.32-100 UEK kernel
sources. Therefore the compilation fails.

You were searching in the wrong directory. The module was not built for
the 2.6.32-131 kernel but for the 2.6.32-100 UEK kernel!

Kind regards,
