    | Hi all,
    |
    | I suspect the answer to my question must be "because you are an idiot",
    | but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

    | in /usr/src
    | % tar xfj kernel-source-2.6.10.tar.bz2
    | % ln -s kernel-source-2.6.10 linux
    | % cd linux
    | % make xconfig

    |
    | ... then the last message repeats ad infinitum, until I kill (ctrl-c)
    |
    | if i skip make-kpkg clean and go directly to make-kpkg kernel-image, i
    | still get the same infinite loop. in some cases i've been able to get
    | the loop even in the make xconfig (or also other make options).
    |
    | i've succeeded (several times) to compile in the past [most recently
    | 2.6.8], and i don't think i've removed any essential packages.
    |
    | so, what's wrong? and how can i configure, so that it will compile?
    |
    | thanks in advance

    Your config file dates from 2.6.8, right ? Try
    make oldconfig
    make-kpkg clean
    make-kpkg kernel-image
