Hi,
Looks like using /usr/src/linux is fine but linking /usr/include/linux
and /usr/include/asm to real kernel was the problem.

Look into doing something like:
tar -clzvf /home/somedir/My_backup.tar.gz /*
The -l (el not one) option will keep tar from trying to move off
to another filesystem. You might want to leave off the -z from the

You've got a 2Gb
While you _can_ certainly use the LDP HOWTO instructions for building a

so), using the debian kernel package's make-kpkg should be strongly
encouraged.
An additional 'nice' feature of the process is that after you run the
