Usually, all you need to do is:

apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)

and you'll get the headers for the running kernel along with the build tools.

^golinux is right. Apparently this isn't news, either. XD So you may want to try sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(dpkg --print-architecture) instead.

I just checked and I don't have linux-headers-generic available in jessie or ASCII. There are plenty of linux-headers-* for various kernels and pae etc. Maybe you need linux-headers-common?

My guess is you need to remove the duplicate cdrom line, so your sources.list would read something like:

# deb cdrom:[devuan_ascii_2.0.0-rc_amd64_dvd-1]/ ascii main non-free

deb http://mx.deb.devuan.org/merged ascii main non-free contrib
[ ... ]

Then run sudo apt-get update and re-run the other command, with the dependencies, that I mentioned in my first reply.

If that works, it may help with your Input/Output issue. It might be a problem with your kernel package, so you could try re-installing the kernel, like the person in that link did. But I suspect that fixing your sources.list and updating will solve a few conundrums.
