jaakko, what's the gcc version you've compiled the kernel? i'm on sarge here, with: ii gcc-3.3 3.3.3-6 The GNU C compiler
My system is a mixed stable/testing/unstable with 'APT::Default-Release "stable"' set. I used gcc 2.95.4 until 2.6.5 forced me to update; some assembler part would not compile anymore (I think it was opDEC_check(void) in arch/alpha/kernel/traps.c).
I use kernel-package to do all the dirty work ('time make-kpkg --revision 1 --rootcmd fakeroot kernel-image').
