(That's "bash: make: command not found", right?)
The `make' command is (surprise!) in the make package, so make sure
that's installed. (dpkg -l make) I recommend `make menuconfig' over
plain make config, too.
While you're at it, install kernel-package and read its README, which
explains how to build a Debian package with your new kernel, which is
very useful.
