Re: I'm lost

Are you using the same kernel source as your running kernel? Are you
using the same compiler as the running kernel?

You might as well just make a new kernel.

apt-get install linux-source-2.6.15 (or whatever your running kernel is)
opy the config from /boot/ into .config at the source tree
fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --revision=custom-usb.1.0 kernel_image

Then install the newly created deb packages.
