"Warning, /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.26 seems to contain unconfigured
kernel source!1" (sic!)
"NOTE: You are not root but member of th src group. Mapping the base
working directory to "/usr/src/modass".1" (sic!)
"Installation of the acx100-source source failed."
"Installation of the affix-source source failed."
"Installation of the alsa-source source failed."
