Hello,
Sorry for this long message but I really need your help. I hope I'm not
off-topic. Maybe am I doing something wrong?
In short, since 2.4.5 I seem not to be able to install a kernel (depmod
says "unresolved symbols"). 2.4.6 shows the same problem but as far as I
remember 2.4.4 did not. The sources I use are downloaded straight from
http://www.kernel.org and I always use the same .config file.
Relevant data about my machine: PC Pentium III, 320 Mo, UDMA disks, and
the OS is Debian GNU/Linux 2.2r3 ("Potato"). Currently I run a 2.4.1 kernel.
To compile the kernel, I run "make-kpkg buildpackage" (make-kpkg is
provided by Debian to automatically compile and build debian packages out of
the kernel source).
If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I'm willing to help
improve Linux, not to bother you.
Thanks from your help,
Cyril
PS- Would you be kind and Cc: to [email protected]? Thanks a lot.

Looks like your system has an old version of modutils. You need Adrian
Bunk's linux-2.4 packages for running linux-2.4.* with Debian potato.
Add the following two lines to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main
deb-src http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main
Now run 'apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade' and rebuild the kernel.

Hello,
Thank you for your fast answer :o)

I have just the first line of those. dpkg --list | grep modutils shows:
ii modutils 2.4.6-2.bunk Linux module utilities.
Is it OK?

Yes, that's the same as I have in my system. The only difference is
that I don't use kbuild but build the kernels by hand (done that since
linux-1.0.8, hard habit to break :). Or maybe you still have some cruft
left in /etc/modutils/paths.

My /etc/modutils/paths is empty.
It's quite strange because I run a 2.4.1, and it works just fine!
