Is this a stock Debian kernel? If so, for some reason you have versioned
symbols turned on, when you shouldn't. I suggest doing this:

$ apt-get install kernel-package fakeroot
$ tar zxf linux-2.2.20.tar.gz
(apply the tun/tap patch)
$ cd linux
$ make menuconfig # (or whatever you prefer)
$ fakeroot make-kpkg kernel-image

Then install the .deb that it produces and reboot.
