I think that I'm having essentially the same king of problem here.


I have recently built a kernel 2.4.9 from the source package.
I was going to try and install either the 3.1.22 source from the package 
or the 3.1.29 source from the tar.gz file.
Nothing is even compiling in my case.  There are some script errors.

Now, I have to admit, that I didn't have a /usr/src/modules directory 
until I made one.
That didn't help matters any.

Now I have gone back to try and reinstall the pcmcia files in hopes that 
it will recreate whatever is missing.  That didn't work.

So, I am left with a kernel 2.4.9 and a pcmcia that doesn't even compile.
I can compile the 3.1.29 from the tar.gz file that isn't debian.  But 
the installation is done as a non-debian package.

Basically - it's seeming pretty broken
