 I've compiled 2.4.0-test 12 on my potato system... and it won't load any

 directory.. nothing's immediately below /lib/modules/2.4.0-test12, but it's

You need a newer modutils.

Grab the source from a woody mirror and build it.

Works for me ... :-)

From what I remember binutils also had to be upgraded. I didn't, but simply
made the same directory tree as the 2.2.x kernels under 2.4.0-test10, moved
the modules to the right sub-directory, ran depmod -a and loaded the
modules. YMMV. --Hans
