Sounds like you need to use the deb patch that you have, or you could
just use Debian Source and use apt-get to get the proper source with
the patches. Also did you check to make sure you have all the proper
version's of the programs listed in the changes file?
I have read that guide and I find that it is not as good as this one:
http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html
Also the Debian reference has some good information about the kernel,
and also append-to-version flag. I would suggest you use that flag
as it will help keep compiles straight.
Concerning your Unresolved symbols it most likely you did not have the
proper debian patch applied. I am sure some of the developers will
reply with the inn's and out of why you need the patch. If your
going to be using Debian source, change your etc/apt/source.lst to
include testing so you can pull in the proper software.
Anyway tell us how you like the Kt400 chipset under Debian, a buddy of
mine is looking for a new motherboard.
