Why? kernel-source-2.6.7 (2.6.7-3) is in testing. Along with kernel-package,
you should have no problem creating a debian package from that source, which
is easy to install.
Just unpack the source in /usr/src, create a link from it to /usr/src/linux,
configure the kernel with your favorite tool (I find that 'make menuconfig'
works well). And just type 'make-kpkg kernel-image' to get a debian package,
which you can install with 'dpkg -i kernel-image-...'.

Are you sure it doesn't say /lib/modules/..etc..?
Looks to me like the modules weren't installed properly. Using the make-kpkg
method should do this automatically.

Are you used to using devfs? If you are using Kernel 2.6.7 you should
definetely be using hotplug+udev instead.

Looks like this is cause by the system not finding the right devices in /dev.
If you are using udev, you need at least /dev/null and /dev/console to exist
before udev is mounted.
