Umm, you need to install the bin86 package. You may also want to take
a look at make-kpkg in the kernel-package package. It automates kernel
compilation a bit and gives you a nice Debian package that you can
install with dpkg. The short of it is you to a make <x|menu>config and
then simply do a:
make-kpkg --revision custkernel.1 --bzimage kernel_image
This proceeds to compile the kernel and when it's done it'll produce a
kernel-image<whatever>.deb file in ".." which can be installed with:
dpkg -i kernel-image<whatever>.deb
Do a "man make-kpkg" to the details for yourself first. And read
the documentation in /usr/doc/kernel-package.
When I first heard about it I thought it was a waste of time. I've
been building kernels manually since 0.99, but it really is a nifty
piece of work that simplifies a lot of things for you.
