Try kernel-package. "make-kpkg --revision custom.1.0 kernel-image" will
creat you a deb file with your kernel. Then install the deb file in /usr/src
with "dpkg -i <filename>" and answer "yes" when it is offering to make a
boot disk. This will install the kernel on the root partition, too. You may
not want this... but your old image is still in vmlinuz.old (and it is a
good idea to have a lilo entry for it).
