,this should be enough i thought ?
And i have the kernel source, that's where i point to in my command.
I did a make menuconfig for my kernel configuration and then a make
(make does it all in these kernel versions) so now my kernel is
totally okay, and i also left the source on its place.

Could you be more specific please ?
Thnx!
Phil.

Phil,

Please don't to post :-)

The Debian way of building kernels is much more efficient:
http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html

Managing and upgrading the kernels is much easier when you
build them into .debs.

I know that when you build a kernel with kernel-package
it will leave behind the correct build environment with
which you can build additional modules later.  That being
said, I usually build my kernels in /usr/src (which is
also writable by group src, of which I am a member).

I end up building in /usr/src/linux-<version>/

I would give that a shot first.
