I would recommend doing it the debian way. Read the documentation at the
site -
http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-kernel.html
Install kernel-package and then read the documentation in -
$ zless /usr/doc/kernel-package/README.gz
Once you unpack and cd to the kernel source it is almost as simple as -
make menuconfig
make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image
dpkg -i new_kernel.deb
fix lilo and reboot
See the documentation for a more thorough explanation. I left a couple
things out.
