Why you are root?
# apt-get install debhelper modutils kernel-package libncurses5-dev
# apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.18 # use latest version
# vi /etc/kernel-pkg.conf # input my name and email
Maybe I should have said: (<foo> is user name)
# addgrp --group src <foo>
# su <foo>
$ cd /usr/src # build directory
$ tar --bzip2 -xvf kernel-source-2.4.18.tar.bz2
...
If untar as root and if you are user, you may hit problem.
