Hi Marvin, Thank you for your very quick reply. In this version of Debian, it's apparently linux-kbuild-2.6-26. http://packages.debian.org/lenny/linux-kbuild-2.6.26 I neglected to mention that I also installed that. Sorry! There is no kernel-kbuild-2.6-26 available through Synaptic, nor on the Debian packages site for lenny. Other areas I've read suggest linux-kbuild-2.6-26 is the thing I want. Also, I pretty much had to use Philippe Vouter's archive as you suggest, since the Intel one seems to be missing in action. That's fine with me since Vouter's are supposed to be more up-to-date, right? On the off chance that something might have decompressed improperly the way I unpacked it, I used your exact suggestion to extract everything from the archive and as usual did the "make dance" as root. Below are the results of my second attempt. I saw this: "error: expected ?)? before ?(? token" in the make attempt, and wondered if there might be a bug. Any ideas? Again thank you for your assistance.
