I'm interested to see if that fixes it. I'm not sure why you would need the ramdisk but I'm sure it's there for a reason. Making kernels the debian way is actually really easy. Then you can install the new kernel as a package and remove etc like a package. Get fakeroot and kernel-package. Making kernels is as easy as one command (after config of course). You can even try and get the .config from the precompiled kernel so you only have to edit a few things.
