I recompiled the kernel using your kernel config file (with the 3com ethernet driver enabled and the etherpro disabled). I recompiled it on another computer running Potato using the following commands: make-kpkg clean su root make-kpkg --revision=custom kernel_image Then I installed the new kernel ant the patched pcmcias debs (included in Dell.tgz) but at reboot, I get tons of: depmod : unresolved symbol in /lib/modules/2.4.3/pcmcia/3c574.o ... ... (one for each module listed in /lib/modules/2.4.3/pcmcia) There are also a few modprobe :modprobe : Can't locate module nls_ cp437.0 ... But the ethernet card works. Is it because I didn't run : make modules ? Do I have to run : make modules even if I use make-kpkg?
