Aehh - got me. No, I don't use the kernel-package. I know I should, and I 
will eventually, but I have not yet looked into it. So far, I have
always done it "the traditional way".

>From what you wrote, I assume the

Unfortunately, the make clean also removes the vmlinux.lds. In consequence,
your correct order should be
 make dep
 make-kpkg clean
 make archdep
 make-kpkg --revision=custom.X.X kernel_image 
 dpkg -i ../kernel-image***.deb

This should resolv the issue with the missing vmlinux.lds - at least
I hope so - YMMV ;-)
Anyway, I would like to hear any ( further ) success/failure stories.
