Just turn off the MODVERSIONS when you build the kernel. There's a little glitch in how the PCMCIA stuff gets built. This is a known "issue/bug" and you can see it via the Debian bug tracking system on the web at: http://www.debian.org/Bugs/db/64/64953.html There's also a script that the maintainer has posted that fixes the problem. The script is in the email that's associated with the bug report above. Personally, like I said, I just quit building my kernels with MODVERSION. It's useful if you have binary-only modules to load, but I don't and it was just a habit for me to compile the kernels that way that I started using long ago. Gary
