Hi Manoj,
I guess I'm totally confused. When I upgraded to 2.4.18, I had to
install the kernel-pcmcia-modules-2.4.18 so I guess I'm thinking of this.
So let me see if I got this correct. Installing the kernel-image I
created will install the modules compiled in /lib/modules/<version>.
This of course are not the modules I chose to compile into the kernel.
Also, not sure why I get what seems to be an error when I do a make-kpkg
modules_image. See end of message. What is that command suppose to do?
How do I include the pcmcia modules or is this a seperate think I need
to make a deb for?
I also downloaded the src deb as a control and got nowhere trying to
make-kpkg on it but perhaps that a seperate issue.

Thanks. I think it must do it automatically as a see no option in man
make-kpkg.
Thanks for the help,
Eric
Error? console output outputs the source of make-kpkg. Note that for the
'for module in ;' statement the list is blank.
