RE: moving to the 2.6 kernel?
Aha! It becomes clearer (somewhat). I didn't look hard enough for
module-init-tools. I only looked in the stable version DOH! This may be
the answer to most of my problems!
Thanks to everyone who offered advice!

Thanks for all your help people!
I have actually tried to get module-init-tools (ie. Apt-get install
module-init-tools). I also tried to find it on the package manager and
searching the debian site but could not find it.
I have since managed to (by removing all the modules that gave me
errors) been able to compile the kernel, but now I have no network. The
8139too module exists, but when I run lsmod I get function undefined
errors. Probably removed too much!
I think I shall cut my loses and download sarge...

I think that's correct. I don't use the 'revision' switch. Instead
I've
been modifying the top-level Makefile and setting the EXTRAVERSION
variable.

I think your way is the "approved" way.

Yes. Or 'make gconfig'. What a nice set of tools.

That's exactly -- except for the --revision vs. EXTRAVERSION -- what I
did.

Check to see if you have the 'module-init-tools' package, as I posted in
a
message a few minutes ago.
