No pre-built modules for: Debian-testing/unstable linux-2.4.20 i686

Trying to automatically build the driver modules..
(this requires a C compiler and proper kernel sources to be installed)
Please ensure that the kernel-source is properly installed.
On Debian, try "apt-get install kernel-headers-2.4.20"

Where is the linux source build directory that matches your running kernel?
[/usr/src/linux]

WARNING: missing file /usr/src/linux/include/linux/autoconf.h
The cause of this problem is usually a missing or misconfigured
kernel source tree (and sometimes an incorrect directory or symbolic link).

First, ensure that the proper kernel source and compiler packages
from your distribution vendor and/or the community are installed.

The Linux kernel can then be reconfigured by running "make menuconfig"
under the kernel source directory (usually /usr/src/linux).

Verify that the proper options for your system are selected.

Then compile and install your new kernel (for more information about
this procedure, see the README file under the kernel source directory),
reboot the system using the new kernel, and re-run "hsfconfig".
