I'm trying to compile the exact same image on my Athlon 1700 system. I've been
following this thread with great interest. I've seen some good pointers from a
lot of folks. Could someone please just put a dummy list of steps on how to
upgrade a kernel. I've downloaded about 3 howtos but they are for compiling
kernels manually. This seems to be another way (easier too) to do the same
thing. If there already is a howto developed, please let me know.

p.s. for an athlon system do I need a special version of the kernel?
Try again - you ran dpkg -k kernel-source...
You need to find the .deb that make-kpkg created. It's in /usr/src.
Try:
ls -l /usr/src/kernel*deb
You're looking for kernel-image-2.4.18-<something>.deb
Then do dpkg -i /usr/src/kernel-image-2.4.18-<something>.deb
