Whenever I rebuild the kernel, and at the stage where I run dpkg, I get the warning about there being an existing /lib/modules/2.2.19pre17 directory. Normally I move this out of the way before running dpkg, and it gets recreated by dpkg. However, the pcmcia stuff doesn't get recreated. When you rebuild the kernel, what do you do at this point? Do you leave the existing /lib/modules/2.xxxx directory in place?
