actually, make-kpkg kernel_image builds a deb in /usr/src. You still have to install it with dpkg -i kernel-image<version>.deb If you have extra modules in /usr/src/modules (like, e.g., proprietary nvidia kernel drivers) you need to do make-kpkg modules_image after make-kpkg kernel_image has finished. This will build /usr/src/kernel-modules-<version>.deb. dpkg -i it, too Also make sure you have another way to boot than the new kernel: The old one and/or a bootfloppy or bootcd. Check if /etc/lilo.conf contains entries for both the old and the new kernel. Run lilo and check the output. It should list at least two kernels, the old and the new one. Read the Debian FAQ, too, there's a section on kernel compiles. Before you do all that, simply run modconf and see if you can insert the modules from the stock debian kernel-image -- I did not vote for the Austrian government
