Not sure about this. If I ignore the warning than the kernel modules that get build do not load properly.
The give an:
insmod: Invalid module format -1 
error message. Also they don't get loaded using modprobe. I have to use the dumb insmod command.

> Any reason you use linux-source rather than linux-headers?
I didn't find linux-headers package for 2.6.29 (testing/sid) [1]. All the headers package for 2.6.29 are
for back ported kernel (linux-headers-2.6.29-bpo.2). May be I am looking at the wrong places?
Can I use the headers package from backport against the 2.6.29 kernel image that I downloaded from testing/sid.?
