No real issues because they are both variants of i386 and are
considered one and the same architecture by Debian. The
precompiled kernels on the Debian ftp site are made this way.

On the compilation machine
1. Run the same general version of Debian as your client (potato,
woody or sid).
2. Install kernel-source-xxx and kernel-package (they rightly suggest
each other).
3. Unpack the tar.bz2 kernel sources installed by kernel-source.
4. Follow the specific instructions in /usr/doc/kernel-package.
Be sure to do the extra steps to include the client name in
the kernel version number.
5. This results in a kernel-image-2.2.x_2.2.xclientname1.deb.
Copy that to the client machine.
On the client machine:
Install the new .deb like any other .deb, e.g.
dpkg -i kernel-image-2.2.x_2.2.xclientname1.deb

Try
$ chmod --recursive 700 dir
this allows access only for you and root
