did you insmod all the other required modules first?
(like midi, soundcore, etc - have a look at a modules.dep)

use make xconfig to config the kernel, but use make-kpkg (from
kernel-package) to actually do the build.
having all your /boot/System.map's etc kept up to date, and having all
modules, etc properly removed is well worth it.

using "apt-get source kernel-image-2.2.17-idepci" you would have found
a few scripts that use the source from a "kernel-source-2.2.17"
package to build the right kernel image.
the only really releveant file being debian/config which is the config
used for the kernel. as said earlier, this is the same as that
installed into /boot/config-2.2.17*, by the binary package.
