Sean-

This is a symptom of the "newly renovated" build system. -- Search the 
mailing list archives for the official explanation...  You are sure to 
find tons of emails from people with the same problem.

Since I doubt that you are actually interested in the 'why' , here is 
the 'how' :


make distclean && make allmodconfig && make
make install

... if that doesnt work, then do this:

make distclean
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build menuconfig
{exit without selecting anything}
make menuconfig
{select the drivers that you need}
make
make install

...if that still doesnt work, then you'll need to make sure that you 
have the kernel headers installed on your system:

apt-get install linux-headers

...if all the above fails, then search the archives again -- This 
question has already been answered more than once.  ;-)

I hope this helps,

Mike
