The advice already given about this bug refers to either including or excluding all "unclean" packages when compiling the kernel. Should you wish to exclude just the single package DRM_GAMMA (the subject of this bug report) then one can use either of these two methods. 1. Assuming the kernel source is in /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.9, run "make menuconfig" in that directory and blank out the box next to the drm_gamma item under the menu item Device drivers / Character devices / Direct rendering manager 2. If this menu item doesn't appear (and it didn't for me!) then you can edit the .config file in the /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.9 directory directly and change the line CONFIG_DRM_GAMMA=m to be # CONFIG_DRM_GAMMA is not set and the kernel compile will now exclude the broken package.
