I've had good results with kernel-package. I usually:
1. cd to /usr/src/linux #which is a symlink to /usr/src/kernel-whatever-verison
2. make xconfig #to get the kernel configuration ready
3. make-kpkg clean # to clear up deadwood
4. make-kpkg --revision=whatever kernel_image 2>&1 | tee /var/log/kernelbuild
# to keep a record of what was done
and then it builds a package that winds up in /usr/src. Have you read
the stuff in /usr/doc/kernel-package/* ?
I note that some of my add-on modules, like the driver for my Lucent LoseModem,
are not automatically built; i'm still working on why that's so.
