Don't put the '.o' extention there.

ALSO, it is 'MODULE_01', not 'MODULE_1'.

The 2.6 kernels use '.ko', where the 2.4 kernels used '.o'.  It
shouldn't make any difference to you.

I really recommend that you stick with a 2.4.26 kernel for whatever you
are doing.  the 2.6.9 kernel still has some issues in ltsp.

I'm working on a 2.6.13 kernel, which will likely be the next official
LTSP kernel.  Don't expect that for several weeks yet.
