No you are doing it right.
Or is there some other problem ?
Looks like it :(

Make sure you have modutils = 2.4.19. Those kernels are
built with a relatively recent version (not in woody) of
binutils which requires a new modutils.
Fortunately those errors are harmless so you should just say
no when the postinst asks you to abort.

Those kernels are built with a relatively recent version (not in woody) of binutils which requires a new modutils. Well this might be the reason. Sorry, I'm not able to check because the box in question went today into production. I use to compile kernels without modules (for security reasons) and as I said I was successful here. (By the way - would this mean I could remove modutils completely?) Fortunately those errors are harmless so you should just say no when the postinst asks you to abort. Hmm, this might work but I would regard it as RC bug because kernel-image-2.4.19-sun4u is not installable in stable. It should depend from a working modutils package and this package has to go into stable. I would like to file a bug report if noone instists. Kind regards Andreas.

In an act of desesperation I ran make mrproper, make menuconfig again (setting the same options I had before) and build my kernel again (make dep boot modules modules_install). This time the thing worked. So, I don't know exactly what was causing problems. Maybe it was something that make clean was not fixing. Whatever it was it's gone, and 2.4.21 seems to be a pretty good kernel on the Sparc. Thanks for the help. Cheers, Eloy.-

Re: New kernel 2.4.21 and Sparc
I wish I had seen this thread before I rebooted into a 2.4.21 kernel compiled with gcc 3.3. The x86 kernel compiles fine with 3.3, I was under the assumption that sparc would be fine as well. Now I rebooted without access to the machine, and I can't bring it up into the backup kernel until Monday :( BTW, I see no kernel-image-2.4.21 for sparc, where are they located?
