Seconded.  While you're at it, install fakeroot and compile the kernel
while logged in as a regular user.

Synopsis:

 # apt-get install fakeroot kernel-package
 # exit
 $ make menuconfig # or whatever
 $ fakeroot make-kpkg clean
 $ fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=custom.1 kernel_image

Then use sudo or su to install the image with dpkg.  Note!  The deb
will be in the parent directory (/usr/local/src in my world), NOT in
the kernel-source directory!  This has confused others :-)
