Is there some reason that the mosix-patched kernel doesn't work with
kpkg?  That would have shortened the above process to:

  make-kpkg clean
  make-kpkg --revision mosix.1 kernel_image
  make-kpkg --revision mosix.1 modules_image

Which would have kicked out two debs that could be `dpkg --install`d.

Depending on how the mosix cluster is managed, having a packaged
kernel can be much cleaner if you've got more than one node to install
onto...
