Upgrading to 2.6

[Christopher Judd <judd@wadsworth.org>]

Hello,

     I've been running a 2.4.18 kernel for quite some time and I decided
to try upgrading (running testing).  I downloaded the 2.6.4 source from
unstable.  I built the kernel package with make-kpkg, but when I try to
install the .deb I get the following error:

gibbs:/usr/src# dpkg -i kernel-image-2.6.4_cdj.1.0_i386.deb
(Reading database ... 77918 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace kernel-image-2.6.4 cdj.1.0 (using kernel-image-2.6.4_cdj.1.0_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement kernel-image-2.6.4 ...
Setting up kernel-image-2.6.4 (cdj.1.0) ...
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd: add_modules_dep_2_5: modprobe failed

FATAL: Module sg not found.
FATAL: Module sd_mod not found.
Failed to create initrd image.
dpkg: error processing kernel-image-2.6.4 (--install):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 9
Errors were encountered while processing:
 kernel-image-2.6.4

In the configuration (make menuconfig) I specified comipiling aic7xxx
support, but not as a module.  What gives?  Did I miss some step?
