Okay my suggestion would be to copy your kernel config file from /boot to
/usr/src/linux/.config then run 'make oldconfig'. This will recreate version.h.

The command should not do anything bad to your already installed kernel,
but please be aware though that you are in kernel trashing terratory and all sorts
of things can go wrong. Please dont blame me if they do :)
