The correct target for modules is "modules_image" (note the "s"); you don't
need it unless you have sources in /usr/src/modules.

Now that you have a working kernel, you will probably want to save its
.config with a descriptive name.

Perhaps you could try make-kpkg with that configuration. All I can say about
the newbiedoc is that if you follow exactly the instructions there you will
be able to get a working kernel image.
