you need to unpack linux-2.4.12.tar.gz first. Use tar zxvf linux-2.4.12.tar.gz (better copy linux-2.4.12.tar.gz to /usr/local/src and then unpack it there). Then cd to the directory created and then do make-kpkg there. But you have to do make xconfig or make menuconfig there first). Please follow directions given in the installation guide for Debian 2.2 for custom kernel compilation. The directions are detailed and more than helpful to make your own kernel
