Exactly so. > > And yet /usr/src/linux-2.4.22 contains your kernel source? > Is this correct? well, I just discovered that when I installed kernel-source package, it only put a .tar.bz2 file there. So I unpacked it and now there are thousands (? hundreds, anyway) of .c and .h and other files in a tree there. Now I am not qualified to know if the right things are there. /usr/src/linux-2.4.22 contains 'Makefile', 'Rules.make' and 'acpi-20030916-2.4.22.diff' and the capitalized files, and directories: -/debian/ -- buildinfo, changelog, control, files, rules -/include/ -- linux, asm-i386 and 6 other dirs full of .h files -/scripts/ -- 30-ish .pl .tk .c .h and other files Is that what I should be seeing? Anyway, the result of 'make-kpkg modules-image' is still the same. > > It seems strange, but if that is so I would check that > /usr/src/modules contains your modules you are trying to install. I checked and they seem to me to be there. There is /usr/src/modules/thinkpad/2.4/drivers/ containing a Makefile and 6 .c files and /usr/src/modules/thinkpad/2.4/include containing 8 .h files, and similar for 2.2 and 2.6. Also /usr/src/modules/thinkpad/debian/ containing some .sed files and 'buildpkg' and 'rules'. Does that sound right? > If that is so, then I'm stumped.
