Given that you have installed another pre-built kernel successfully, and
this behavior is persistent, I would suggest filing a bug report.

Before doing this, remove the kernel from your system using 'apt-get remove
--purge [kernel package]', and make sure you have the 'reportbug' package
installed. After you do that, try installing the kernel again. This gives
you the full output of apt-get on a fresh install of the kernel to include
with the bug report. Then, run:

'reportbug kernel-image-2.6.8-9-em64t-p4-smp'

Include the full output of apt-get, explain that you can install other
kernels just fine (name them by full version), and that you have tried
reinstalling this package, but are still getting this problem.
