Hello,
if I try 'make modules_install' with linux-2.4.2 I get:
...
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src_laptop450/linux-2.4.2/drivers'
make -C acpi modules_install
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src_laptop450/linux-2.4.2/drivers/acpi'

Indeed I don't have such files in the drivers/acpi-Directory.
laptop450:/usr/src/linux(114)#ls drivers/acpi/

My tools should be new enough to work correctly:
laptop450:/usr/src/linux(133)#sh

Who can help me?

Doctor says: don't do that. :) I don't know how you managed
CONFIG_ACPI=m, because the configuration system doesn't allow it.
"dep_bool" means only Y or N, and we see the CONFIG_ACPI entry in
arch/i386/config.in is correct:
[jgarzik@rum linux_2_4]$ egrep -rw 'CONFIG_PM|CONFIG_ACPI' arch
[...edited output...]
arch/arm/config.in: bool 'Power Management support' CONFIG_PM
arch/i386/config.in:bool 'Power Management support' CONFIG_PM
arch/i386/config.in: dep_bool ' ACPI support' CONFIG_ACPI $CONFIG_PM
arch/i386/defconfig:CONFIG_PM=y
arch/ia64/config.in: define_bool CONFIG_PM y
arch/ia64/config.in: define_bool CONFIG_ACPI y
So the solution is not build ACPI as a module, because it shouldn't have
allowed you to do so in the first place :)
