PS: Regarding to the way how to build a kernel with Debian I recommend the Ubuntu Wikis. Regarding to issues with options when building a kernel for Debian or any other distro the Arch Wikis often are helpful.

FWIW, I suspect my mails anyway won't come through the list, since my last request for help didn't came through. It might be not a big step from 2.6 to 3.0 compared to the steps from KDE3 to 4 and GNOME2 to 3, but there was a big step from kernel 2.6.38 to 2.6.39 regarding to rt abilities/issue
