Problem with make--kpkg... no .deb package created!

["Rich Hartman" <rehartma@artsci.wustl.edu>]

Hello all,

I just tried to compile 2.2.1 kernel and ran into a problem.... 
Following the directions in 
/usr/doc/kernel-source-2.2.1/debian.Readme, I installed the source 
.deb, make menuconfig, make-kpkg clean, then make-kpkg 
--revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image... this took a long time (about 30 
minutes) and I got no error messages - everything seemed to go fine, 
BUT the next step requires installing the newly created .deb package 
with dpkg -i... trouble is, no .deb package is created by the 
make-kpkg command.... so now I'm stuck half-way thru... any ideas?
