There are pretty clear instrcutions under /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz, read the entire document and decide which route you want to take BEFORE you begin the process. I recommand also studying make-kpkg(1) so you get a better understanding of the instructions in the README file. Remember that as long as you don't "dpkg -i your-kernel-package.deb" no irreversible harm should happen (and even when you DO install your-kernel-package.deb, there are 99% chances that you won't loose the current working kernel). I use a script to wrap make-kpkg with my favourite command line parameters. > > what I did was copy the config from my running kernel and the remove a > few obvious things and then Note that if you just want to use an existing config then use "make oldconfig" in stage "2%".
