Ah fudge...
now for some reason when I try to make bzImage I get some weird errors along the lines of:
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.20/include/linux/modules/ksyms.ver:546: warning: `del_timer_sync' redefined

any ideas on what could be causing this?
maybe I should just re-install the kernel-source & start again..?

Thanks all for the help so far!!Finally got modules installed.. don't really no what I did wrong, but they're in there now! unfortunately my acpi is apparently not installed correctly (I have selected everything in acpi when configuring kernel as modules)according to klaptopdaemon.. will try installing them as suggested by Michael ie compiling them into the kernel.chug chug..
