Hi,
From the kernel-package README file:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION NOTES:
Before you go any further, please allow me to point out that you need to
have a few other packages installed before you can compile your own kernels
(it is difficult to compile anything without a compiler ;-).
Firstly, you will need gcc, the libc development package (libc5-dev at
the time of writing), and, on Intel platforms, bin86. [If you use the
menuconfig target of make, you will need ncursesX.X-dev, and make xconfig
also requires tkX.X-dev, and other packages these depend on]
The packages suggested are:
devel: gcc, libc5-dev, binutils, make, and, for intel x86 platforms,
bin86 (non-Intel platforms don't need this).
interpreters: gawk.
base: gzip, shellutils, and grep.
Of course, pretty gui front ends to kernel configuration require more
packages, but they are not strictly essential (though quite nice really).
Oh, and of course, make-kpkg is part of kernel-package, usually found
in section misc.
For the Brave and the impatient:
1% cd <kernel source tree>
2% make config # or make menuconfig or make xconfig and configure
3% make-kpkg clean
4% make-kpkg -r=custom.1.0 kernel_image
5% dpkg -i ../kernel-image-X.XXX_1.0_<arch>.deb
6% shutdown -r now # If and only if LILO worked or you have a means of
# booting the new kernel. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!
