Yes. No modules directory for this kernel version...

For linux-2.4.x, you need ....

`make`
`make modules`
`make modules_install`
`make install`

It looks like fs/partitions/Kconfig is messed up for one combination.
If ACORN_PARTITION is not set, we won't include any of the partition
support for Acorn formats, so we should not allow them to be selected.
