No. I get a pristine kernel from ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ then I
uzip and untar in into /usr/src so that it creates /usr/src/linux. I
change the directory name to match the kernel, eg. /usr/src/linux-2.4.18
and make a symlink to /usr/src/linux. I cd to the /usr/src/linux directory
and run 'make xconfig' and run through all the options. At this point, I
do the Debian bit, 'make-kpkg -rev Custom.N kernel_image'. I install the
resultant .deb then do the NVIDIA bits exactly as in the accompanying
documentation.
I never use apt-get to obtain kernel sources - never have done.
Hope this helps - it certainly works without errors here.
