If you downloaded the kernel source, you still need to compile and
install the kernel before you can use it. Install kernel-package, then
configure with 'make config', 'make menuconfig' or make xconfig'.
After that use make-kpkg to compile your kernel and create a debian
package which you then need to install with dpkg.
See usr/doc/kernel-package/README.gz for details.
