I haven't used a woody system in a while so I don't remember seeing that,
but I really doubt you need those particular modules and the rest of the
kernel should work just fine so don't abort the install. And as long as you
keep your current kernel installed, you'll be able to fall back to it if
2.4.19 does cause you problems.
