but this is a debian based system where you will also need the patches
that have gone in the kernel if you want to paticipate on the sys/kernel
integration effort made by the devs... this kernel source (already
patched and configured) is provided by the packages named
"linux-source-xxxx" (contrary to the unconfigured vanilla source
packages called "kernel-source-xxxx")
install one of these packages, configure it and compile it with the
make-kpkg command (example below, adjust revision and append string to
your needs)

sudo make-kpkg --revision 2.6.8.1-1 --append_to_version -3-yourprocessor
--initrd binary

this command will build a kernel and a module .deb package that are
installable with dpkg and automatically care for all the setup stuff
(bootloader, initrd etc.) so you dont run into grub configuration
problems.

i hope that sheds some light on the prob :)

ciao
