Kernel Woes

[friskydrifter]

Trying to answering a kernel question the other day made me want to upgrade and see if I knew what I was on about these days - apparently I have no idea. Everythings changed! No make dep?!? make-kpkg!!?? I had to re-learn it all !!
Im using Debian Sarge with a 2.4 kernel so I thourght I'd give it a go.

Ok so heres what I did, some steps probably unnecessary but I tried it anyway.

# apt-get install kernel-package libncurses5-dev fakeroot wget bzip2
# cd /usr/src
# wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kern...6.11.7.tar.bz2
# tar xjf linux-2.6.11.7.tar.bz2
# mv linux-2.6.11.7 linux
# cd linux
# make clean
# make menuconfig (picked what I needed)
# make-kpkg clean
# fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image

All was loooking fine then BAM! Errors! Can anyone tell me what is going on or what to do next? The final few lines of output are below.
