What debian distribution are you running? I hope it's "testing/woody"
or "unstable/sid" because I don't think the modutils package in
"stable/potato" can handle the new 2.4.x way of doing kernel modules.
If you're running potato look at the debian-user list archive. I seem
to recall a post on how to run a 2.4.x kernel on potato.
