I am expecting to see version minor number and, maybe, sub minor.
e.g. /usr/src/linux-2.4.21-8
                        ^^^^
Look at your 'soft' link in /usr/src

$ cd /usr/src
$ ls -l

There should be a 'soft' link to /usr/src/linux. 
e.g.
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Apr 4 06:30 linux -> linux-2.4.21-8
