I have been re-examining my work on soft links when building kernels with
make-kpkg. The kernel-image package that I generated when testing the case
of soft link not present was made with a wrong config file, i.e. not the same
one as the other case. I know this because I opened the deb packages and

I'm definitely over my head in this debate and will happily defer to those
who know more about the issues involved. However, I will say that for my
situation I far prefer compiling in /usr/src/kernel-sources-* than in a
generic /usr/src/linux symlink. I have several different kernel configs

I upgraded to Woody two or three months ago, but did not upgrade the kernel
then because I did not feel confident of my ability to read and follow the
various directions. Recent posts in this thread gave me a feeling of
confidence, so I've attempted to follow the recipe given. Now I need help.

Try again - you ran dpkg -k kernel-source...
You need to find the .deb that make-kpkg created. It's in /usr/src.
Try:
ls -l /usr/src/kernel*deb
You're looking for kernel-image-2.4.18-.deb
Then do dpkg -i /usr/src/kernel-image-2.4.18-.deb
