something wrong with kernel source 2.4.22?

[mbc <mbc@debian.org>]

* Please reply to me as I'm not on this list *

Hi. So, I'm trying to build a kernel so that I can compile some modules 
I need for my wireless card to work. I want to disable modversions in my
kernel so that the madwifi modules and the bcm4400 module won't complain
about unresolved symbols just because of name mangling. 

I've encountered major problems trying to build a kernel with the 
2.4.22-3 source.

First, I tried copying /boot/config-2.4.22-1-686 to 
/usr/src/linux/.config then doing make mrproper && make oldconfig && 
make dep && make bzImage && make install && make modules && make 
modules_install. After doing this, and updating lilo and rebooting, the 
boot fails saying that it can't open /lib/modules/2.4.22/modules.dep. I 
checked, and that file is both present and up to date.

Second, I tried copying the config to /usr/src/linux again, and using 
kernel package, so I did make-kpkg clean and then make-kpkg 
--revision=mbc2.4.22 kernel_image. The resulting kernel package only 
contained the modules and the documentation, but no bzImage.

Am I totally missing something here or is the recent source package just 
broken?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I've been trying to do this 
for 3 days now so that I can install debian on my laptop. Without 
network access, thats rather hard. I've built kernels before. I even 
built the lindows kernel debian packages. But right now I'm having a 
hard time .

Thank You,

michael
