No, don't do that (there is a very good reason for that, but I am not clear
on what it is, perhaps someone else on the list can enlighten me :). I
suggest using kernel-package to build a kernel, see
"/usr/doc/kernel-package/README.gz" if that package is installed on your
system. It works great, I recently used it to build a 2.0.31 kernel-image
and kernel-source package. I have excerpted a section of
"/usr/doc/kernel-package/README.gz" below to show how simple it is to use.

5% dpkg -i ../kernel-image-X.XXX_1.0_<arch>.deb
6% shutdown -r now # If and only if LILO worked or you have a means of
