Install the "kernel-package" package (and it's dependencies :-) and pull the source to a standard Linux kernel from a mirror, such as: http://www.it.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6 Untar this into an appropriate directory, cd into that, use "make menuconfig" to configure your kernel and "make-kpkg kernel_image" to build a Debian package of it. There's lots of documentation around to take you through this process, not least in /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/ once you've installed that.
