I think I got the same error -- I'm not sure about the error code number. The reason fo that error had been unmatching kernel versions make-kpkg found in the source directory and the kernel which was actaully running. The solution on my system was install the kernel-headers package for the running kernel built with make-kpkg on my system and to clean up the directory drm-trunk because I tried to install the DRM modules for an older kernel before. I simply purged it and unpacked the drm-trunk.tar.gz again. Then `make-kpkg modules_image´ workred without an error. I'm using a kernel 2.4.24-ben1 on a TiBook IV (867MHz). ToPu
