Currently I run a 2.4.1 kernel.
Looks like your system has an old version of modutils. You need Adrian Bunk's linux-2.4 packages for running linux-2.4.* with Debian potato. Add the following two lines to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main deb-src http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main
Now run 'apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade' and rebuild the kernel.
