There will always be the classical method so no problem. It is much easier to use make-kpkg especially if you want to use the same kernel on more machines.

Yes, it works: kernel-source-2.2.17 (from Debian), 2.2.18pre18 (ftp.kernel.org+pre-patch-2.2.18-18), 2.4.0-test9 make clean make oldconfig dep bzImage and bzImage is in arch/i386/boot/bzImage. How exactly did you try to build your kernel? Did you get any error message? The kernel build process has nothing to do with Debian or any other distribution. It just needs make, gcc etc. Andrei
