Robert,
Save yourself some trouble and read this fine HOWTO on compiling kernels
the Debian way.
http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html
By using kernel-package, you can do it all in a few steps and also easily
differentiate your kernel versions. I always do something like this:
cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.xx/
make menuconfig
make-kpkg clean
fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=yyyymmdd --append-to-version=-z
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.xx-z_yyyymmdd_i386.deb
It is very simple.
