Hi, Sounds like you manually configured your kernel to produce a module which also is in pcmcia-modules-2.4.20. Dpkg doens't know what to do with it. You could try to switch off your serial port in your kernel configuration. (I think that produces the file serial_cs.o)
This url tells me the file isn't in the stock 2.4.20 kernel. http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=serial_cs.o&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=testing&arch=i386 Btw, I usually download a stock kernel and use the configuration file from that as a starting point for custom compilation. You can load files like that after you do make menuconfig or equivalent. You can retrieve the config file from the .deb with a tool like mc to examine what is in the kernel-image<more text>.deb The config file can then be loaded if you select load and type the right file. Something like /boot/config-2.4.20 needs to be copied out of the .deb and loaded as kernel config. Hope this helps a bit. Cheers, Remco.
