Are you running a stock kernel, on unstable? You should probably
upgrade to the appropriate 2.4.20-3 kernel image and rebuild your
modules against its header package, then; IIRC, it fixes a couple of
local root exploits but breaks binary compatibility with extant
modules.

Alternatively, you likely still have the old kernel-headers-2.4.20
package around; just use that.
