There will always be the classical method so no problem.
It is much easier to use make-kpkg especially if you want to use the
same kernel on more machines. You will have only to copy the new .deb
and dpkg -i.

Yes, it works:
kernel-source-2.2.17 (from Debian), 2.2.18pre18
(ftp.kernel.org+pre-patch-2.2.18-18), 2.4.0-test9
make clean
make oldconfig dep bzImage
and bzImage is in arch/i386/boot/bzImage.
How exactly did you try to build your kernel? Did you get any error
message?
The kernel build process has nothing to do with Debian or any other
distribution. It just needs make, gcc etc.
