I log on using kernel 2.6.8-9-amd64-generic after installation. If I want to compile the kernel, how can I do that? Because I am trying "make menuconfig" (there are nothing under /usr/src/ ) and "make xconfig" and nothing happens. You should install kernel-image-2.6.8-10-amd64-k8 or kernel-image-2.6.10-9-amd64-k8, the amd64-generic kernel is just intended for the installer. You further need the matching kernel-headers-2.6.* package, and the nvidia debs. check the howto at https://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html for more information.
