http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ/KernelCompilation
make
make modules_install
make install
http://wiki.debian.org/HowToRebuildAnOf ... nelPackage
fakeroot make -f debian/rules.gen setup_i386_none_686
fakeroot make -f debian/rules.gen binary-arch_i386_none_686 binary-indep \
DEBIAN_KERNEL_JOBS=${NR_CPUS}
"I have no idea which of the many packages this creates to install"
Then this thread has
make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd --revision=custom.001 kernel_image kernel_headers
dpkg -i *.deb

Or you can use module assitant if all you want to do is add a moduleIbidem wrote:Since it only disables modules, you can reconfigure the sources later to re-enable a driver, make modules, and install the modules (I've done this at least a couple times, it's not just speculation)..

Finished. All went well till now.
Further steps after compiling:
1) sudo make modules_install
2) sudo make install
3) sudo depmod
4) sudo update-initramfs -c -k'(version number)'
5) Reboot
