Only been on Debian for a week, but here goes - just wanted to point to some helpful docs etc In the /usr/share/doc/kernel-package directory there should be a README file which tells you which packages you need to compile a kernel in the Debian manner - it's a terrific system. There are further useful docs in the directory produced when you untar the source-code - especialy look for a file "modules" which explains in some detail how to build them in. On the debian website, at the end of the Installation Instructions for Intel x86 there is a good short guide to kernel-compiling - I found it a great help.
