Debian installs the config for installed kernels in /boot/config-<kernel-version> so the config for your installed kernel should probably be /boot/config-2.4.22-xfs. Copy that to .config at the top of your kernel source tree (you may want to backup the old one if you will want to try and rebuild the ext3 version later). From the kernel name I think you should also set the EXTRAVERSION variable at the top of the Makefile at the top of the kernel source tree to -xfs (run uname -r, if the name is 2.4.22-xfs you do). Now do a make-kpkg kernel-image at the top of the kernel source tree. You can press Ctrl-C once it starts compiling the c files to objects, you just want the dependencies to be built (make dep may be enough although I think the module also uses some of the debian specific stuff). Now in the same place do make-kpkg --added-modules drm-mach64 modules-image. This should build you mach64 package. Then do dpkg -i <deb name> to install it. > 3.
