so I was reading this:
http://www.wowway.com/~zlinuxman/Kernel.htm

which is about the same..
I ran these commands:

# make menuconfig
# make-kpkg clean
# make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image

(snipping all the long lines...)
and ended up with this:

/usr/bin/make    ARCH=i386 \
			     -C Documentation/lguest
make[1]: Entering directory 
`/home/pbc/Documents/software/linux-2.6.31.9/linux-2.6.31.9/Documentation/lguest'
