|
| i've succeeded (several times) to compile in the past [most recently
| 2.6.8], and i don't think i've removed any essential packages.
|
| so, what's wrong?  and how can i configure, so that it will compile?

Your config file dates from 2.6.8, right ? Try
make oldconfig
make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg kernel-image
