Uh, oh. Not sure if I did this or not ... way to many iterations for my

If indeed "linux-2.4.12.tar.gz" is already in /usr/src, you could try:
cd /usr/src
tar xzvf linux-2.4.12.tar.gz
cd linux-2.4.12
make-kpkg buildpackage --rootcmd fake
ith linux systems in general.

The usr/src/linux directory that was missing before has been created,

Hey doc: I think we were all assuming a slightly higher level of linux-ness
