This is the wrong order. Try
make-kpkg clean,
followed by
make xconfig
Ignus> 'make-kpkg -r custom.1.0 kernel_image'
Ignus> 'dpkg -i /usr/src/kernel-image-2.0.30_custom.1.0_i386.deb'
This makes and installs the modules for you. You are
done. make-kpkg does more than you thought ;-)
Ignus> 'make modules' 'make modules_install'
This may be your problem. You compiled and installed a kernel
and modules, and you then clobbered modules with another set. *Don't*
do this. The .deb file is all you need.

Hope this helps
