Nope. I don't compile the kernel unless there's any specific need to do so. I
just simply trust the Debian Kernel Team and install the Kernel they provide.
(the one which gets installed directly and the one that runs out of the
box. )
I don't know what you have in your /etc/apt/sources.list file, but here's the
relevant line that should help you fetch the required kernel.
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
Once you have added this line, do
apt-get update and then, use
apt-cache search "linux-image" to search for the kernel-image appropriate for
your architecture.
I have the following package installed on my system.
linux-image-2.6.17-2-686 - Linux 2.6.17 image on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/P4
