i'm trying to install debian sarge on my toshiba portege R200,

trying the same procedure with kernel 2.6 (after compiling the .ko
version of the module on another machine with 2.6) makes the driver
load perfectly and the installation complete via net.
Is it so just a case that with 2.6 is working, or it acts differently?
The running kernel on the machine you use the module on has to be
configured exactly the same as the kernel sources on the machine where
you compiled the module.
the driver is compiled and installed by a shell script, which requires
the kernel headers only, which where installed (correct version, same
as kernel). the kernel compiled for (and working with) is the same
used in the installation (checked by uname -r on the shell, during
install process. 2.4.27-32-386).
It might be easier to burn the driver to a CD and compile it on the
machine where it is needed.
unfortunately during initial install of debian-sarge there is no
compiler available, so I cannot build the driver at that time; I can
only load a precompiled driver.
After finishing the installation, loading the same driver it works;
but not with the kernel which boots with the installation.
could it be that instead of the 2.6 version, the 2.4 requires manual
installation of other modules before it? (modules which are missing,
since modprobe gives same result as insmod)
