I assume that you have to do a "make-kpkg --revision Xyz modules_image"
You should be in the source directory of the kernel that you're running
(or planning to run) to do this, a.e. /usr/src/linux-2.4.18 or
/usr/src/linux . 

If you don't have a kernel source directory, you can 'apt-get
kernel-source-2.4.18' (or whatever your current kernel is...) to get
one, or get the source from your friendly www.kernel.org mirror,unpack
it in your directory of choice, preferably /usr/src, 'cd' there and run
the above command again. The kernel-package can then make modules that
fit with that specific kernel.

Before you do this, you might have to specify the directory where your
modules source code is, i.e. export MODULES_LOC="/usr/src/modules", as
you would with the alsa drivers.
