That sounds like a fair strategy...

No, I didn't. I guess the only thing that would really matter from the
perspective of the change that I made was where the modpost utility
lives. 

In my case it lives here:

/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.7-1/scripts/mod/modpost

But this is from the Debian kernel-headers package corresponding to
the kernel that I'm running. Does this utility end up in a different
place on 2.6.8.1 ?

Did you build the kernel from vanilla sources ? Maybe there is an
issue using the debian kernel-headers package together with comedi ?


BTW, using the Debian comedi-source package together with kernel 2.6.7
doesn't work either. I entered a bug against the Debian comedi-source
package for that as well (this is on testing). Might be a good idea to
fix that before sarge freezes, would be nice if comedi works on the
next stable Debian release.
