There are no problems with the kernel source; I've had no problems upgrading a kernel from 2.4.18 to 2.4.22 Once you've linked the source dir to the dir linux run 'make-kpkg clean' in /usr/src/linux, copy the old config to /usr/src/linux/.config, run 'make oldconfig' then 'make-kpkg --append-to-version=.my_kernel kernel_image'. You might want to look at using 'make xconfig' to get pop up a GUI to help with the configuration, though the benefit 'make oldconfig' is that it only troubles you with the new options.
