Unresolved symbols usually mean that your kernel source configuration doesn't match your running kernel. They need to be in sync to correctly build the driver.

You need to make sure your kernel source configuration matches your running kernel. If you compiled your own kernel, then you should be ok, unless you went back and made changes to your .config without recompiling. If you're using a distro kernel, you need to make sure you've got the matching kernel-source package.

Probably the kernel-source debian package. I'm not a debian power user, so I don't know the package name off the top of my head. I'm sure bwkaz will chime in and set me straight.

No - this is the source for your kernel. This comes from Debian. You need to have the correct kernel sources for your linux kernel before you can compile the NVIDIA_kernel package.

What Andy is saying is that you need to install the Source files for your kernel that you are running. In this case for your 2.4.20 kernel. If you installed it from CD, then the kernel source should be on one of those CD's. If not, then you need to download and install it from the net.
The Source code is required when C programs are written or that need to be recompiled for a new version of Linux Kernel. Without the kernel source, you cannot recompile the Nvidia Drivers. I hope this cleared this up a bit.... |

what happens when you do
# apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.20 you ought to get the kernel sources installed plus some other packages, possibly, utilities needed to compile kernel source. |
