So you cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.22/, it contains "Makefile" and Rules.make, and when you issue "make-kpkg modules-image" it still says: > > "We do not seem to be in a top level linux kernel source > > directory tree..." That sounds strange. I suppose the modules-image target might require that you build the kernel first, but if that is the case I would expect a different error message than that. I took a quick look at the kernel-package docs, including the README.modules, and I didn't get any clues from that. The only other thing I can suggest is to look for documentation in the thinkpad module directory that suggests other steps required. > > > > > It seems strange, but if that is so I would check that > > /usr/src/modules contains your modules you are trying to install. > > I checked and they seem to me to be there.
