First of all, you shouldn't be compiling kernels from source from kernel.org unless you have a special reason for it and you what you are doing. Instead, you should be installing / compiling new kernels "the Debian way", which is slightly different, but is quite cool once you get the hang of it :)

It is maybe harder in the beginning, but once you get used to it is really easier in my opinion. Why? Because you can easily go back to previously built kernels; you still have the .debs in /usr/src, so it makes it rather flexible. And yes, I've got xawtv running using 2.6.5 if I am correct (I am
