kernel compile fails

[ron.peterson at yellowbank.com (Ron Peterson)]

Hmm.  I'm going to avoid diagnosing your problem, and suggest that if
you're going through the trouble, download the latest stable tarball to
/usr/src, unpack, and config.

Then, if you want to do things the "debian way", you might consider using
the kernel-package package.  Do your `make xconfig &` or whatever.  Then
do:

make-kpkg --bzimage kernel_image

This will roll you a warm fuzzy .deb package, which you can install like
any other .deb.
