Hi. I used the Debian Linux Kernel Handbook:
http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ I fetched the 3.11.1 kernel source from kernel.org (wget) and unpacked it under /usr/src. During installation of Wheezy, I installed my usual tool set including make, gcc, g++ etc. To build the kernel, I additionally installed: build-essentials fakeroot devscripts (I don't think we need that) and run apt-get build-dep linux And now: copy configuration from /boot make oldconfig make clean (I don't think this is necessary) make deb-pkg installation via dpkg -i (4 packages) configure /boot/silo.conf (additional entry) and reboot - it works. You didn't mention the build packages, the rest looks the same ...
