adding this step will have you start from a known working config. Also
I think the make-kpkg line should be something closer to
make-kpkg --revision x.y kernel_image
Also the *.deb should be in the directory /usr/src/ So look for it
there. You should do a man make-kpkg for the full amount of options you
have. make-kpkg is actually a very nice tool for compiling kernels.
Oh and Im not sure if you have already said this, but make sure you are
running Woody or Sid. Potato can not handle 2.4.x kernels.
