My suggestion, and, I believe, the official Debian suggestion as well, is to start using the make-kpkg utility (part of the kernel-package in dselect). IMHO it makes the whole kernel building/module building/kernel installation/module installation process a lot easier. With it you produce a kernel*.deb file which, when you install it, does everything you need, PLUS it runs lilo-config for you, PLUS it sets up your system to run the necessary "depmod -a" for you on the next reboot. Here's all it takes to get everything going: cd /usr/src/linux make <xconfig|menuconfig|config> make-kpkg --revision mysys.1 kernel_image make-kpkg --revision mysys.1 modules_image cd /usr/src dpkg -i kernel-image-2.0.3x_mysys.1_i386.deb (I think it runs lilo-config here) dpkg -i <whatever>-modules-2.0.3x+mysys.1_i386.deb (Here it warns you that you need to reboot to get the module dependencies right) DONE! The second "make-kpkg" and "dpkg -i" are only necessary, *I believe*, if you have some extra modules. In my case it was the PCMCIA modules. The modules that are part of the kernel are in the kernel-image*.deb file. But read the make-kpkg documentation to find out what you really need to do. Good Luck!
