Normally you would run 'make oldconfig' in the directory in which you
unzipped the kernel source (which is typically in your home directory)
in order to build your own kernel. But that should not be necessary
when using module-assistant.

That is mysterious. Have you considered copying the generated deb file
from /usr/src on the other system and installing it on the troublesome
one? You won't get to the bottom of the problem you are reporting but
it would get the job done. Assuming the two systems have the same
architecture, of course.
