Skip steps 2, 5, and 7. make-kpgk does all this for you. The
"kernel_image" target makes the kernel and anything you chose to compile as
a module.
The "modules_image" target makes any extra modules that are not included in
the kernel and exist in /usr/src/modules. Alsa and pcmcia are examples of
this (in my system anyway). If you don't have anything in /usr/src/modules,
then no need to "make-kpkg modules_image"

Hm... This sounds odd, because even though ran unnecessary steps, they
should not have drastically damaged anything.
