Re: Kernel problems
Did you use kernel-package? It's a wonderful thing for maintaining kernels.
It will help you easily create a .deb package from which you can install your
custom kernel image. And you can create that package as a regular user (one
less thing you have to do as root!).
Once installed, check out /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/
There's a file in there that gives you the quick-and-dirty 6-step method for
creating your own custom debian kernel package, and then goes into the
details. I think it's much better to have that package show up in the
packaging system, since I can then control upgrades of my custom kernel by
just putting a hold on that package.

Did you know that if you play a Windows 2000 cd backwards, you
will hear the voice of Satan?
That's nothing! If you play it forward, it'll install Windows 2000.
