That warning message is normal. Ignore it.

Try running "cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.17-14mdv;make modules".

I do not want to make all of the modules in teh kernel. I just want to make
a few.

Except for compiling all of the modules, when I compiled a custom kernel,
I only use 2 modules, that I compile, that are not part of the distributed
kernel source. A quickcam replacement for my webcam, and Intel536 for my
modem.

In both cases, the tarball is extracted to a directory under my userid.
I then compile the module using ./configure, make, and make install, and
then run depmod, or a script provided with the module, that does the
equivalent.

You cannot use the makefile that's meant to compile all of the modules,
to just compile one module. You need a makefile, for that module,
which is usually provided with the source.

Can you provide the download link, for one of the modules you're trying
to compile? I'll see if I can figure out exactly the steps that need
to be done.
