thanks your hint, from some of mailing list stated, upgrade kernel seem 
more complex process in debian than in rpm distributions.  In  that mail:

Got my old config file from /boot
and put it in the source and did a make oldconfig. I then did a
make xconfig and made sure that I had ext2 support and elf and
a.out all compiled in
 may I ask you what is source?
