How can I make a kernel package that is _identical_ to those available for download?

    Hi folks,

    I asked this on debian-kernel about 8 hours ago but didn't
    get any replies.

    I've tried about half a dozen times over the last year to compile
    a working kernel for my old 233MHz machine. I thought I might
    have had a defective processor (a K6) but I've changed it to a
    genuine Intel Pentium and still had no success. I can
    successfully install one of the precompiled kernel images,
    but compiling one on my box has failed so far. At one point I
    filed a bug report but Herbert Xu was unable/unwilling to help.

    I am currently running RC1 of sarge with a 2.4.27 kernel that I
    downloaded as a kernel image, but I've previously tried with
    3.0r1 with 2.4.18 and other 2.4.x kernels, as well as an early
    2.6.x kernel source.

    I now have:

         kernel-source-2.4.27_2.4.27-6_all.deb (30M)

    I thought I knew what to do with this, but my past failures in
    compiling kernels on this box make me wary.

    I also have

         kernel-image-2.4.27_2.4.27-6.tar.gz (95K)

    but I can't understand what I'm supposed to do with it.
    I've unpacked it but it seems to be for those who already
    know how it works - there's no readme or help I can see.
            
    I also have:

         kernel-build-2.4.27_2.4.27-6_i386.deb (8K)

    but I don't really know what to do with it either.

    I do have kernel-package installed.

    As far as I can tell, the latest testing kernel image for Pentium is:

         kernel-image-2.4.27-1-586tsc_2.4.27-6_i386.deb (11.5M)

    What commands do I need to issue in order to generate a .deb that is
    _identical_ to that? I assume I have to use make-kpkg, and it probably
    depends on the precise version of the compiler.

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards, Rossc.
