I believe this is the default in the .config for the kernel source. > I run an AMD K7 chip and I would like to compile accordingly.

I didn't see the earlier thread to which you refer. That could explain why I'm a little confused, but I'll try to answer anyway. > Is there an equivalent for this package with a menu interface like make > menuconfig in normal kernel compilations? It is so much quicker... To what package do you refer? If you are trying to compile a kernel with make-kpkg, you still need to configure the kernel (eg "make menuconfig"), before "make-kpkg kernel-image". If you already have a suitable configuration just copy it to /usr/src/linux/.config (or wherever your kernel source lives). Have you looked at the docs in /usr/share/doc/kernel-package?
