get and install kernel-package.deb (in main/misc IIRC). This is *not*
the kernel-source but a great helper package.

cd /usr/src/linux

uncomment the SMP line in Makefile

make-kpkg clean

make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image

dpkg -i ../kernel-image*.deb

reboot

read /usr/doc/kernel-package/*

Ciao,
        Martin
