Yes. Using the old fashoned way and using make-kpkg.

Looks like you don't have the option for the ext3 FS enabled.

What does [grep -i ext3 /boot/config-2.6.7 report?
Mine shows
CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y
CONFIG_EXT3_FS_XATTR=y
# CONFIG_EXT3_FS_POSIX_ACL is not set
# CONFIG_EXT3_FS_SECURITY is not set

Do you have module-init-tools 3.1-pre5-1 installed? There have been
some changes in how the modules load. See the Documenation dir for
info on that.

Did you copy the .config file from /usr/src/linux-2.6.6 to the 2.6.7
dir and then do a make oldconfig? If not then do a make
[config|menuconfig|xconfig] in the 2.6.7 dir again, and check that you
enabled the ext3 fs.
:-) HTH, YMMV, HAND :-)
