I was doing it a different way, getting the kernel from kernel.org. This looks
a little different.. I'll take a look, thanks!

Hay Paul,

I get my source from kernel.org also. But there are instructions in that
document that tell you how to install from kernel.org sources "The Debian Way".

Back in the day I was exclusively using Debian kernel sources. At one point I
wanted a newer kernel version than was available via the Debian mirrors, so
after reading in this document that it was possible, I started getting my source
from kernel.org. When I upgraded to Lenny the latest kernel source I could find
via apt-cache search was 2.6.26. The latest stable kernel.org kernel was
2.6.31.1 and I grabbed that.

I got 2.6.32.2 , but I kep getting errors... maybe I shouldn't be trying
2.6.32.2 ?

I guess I should have added.. one of the steps says to apt-get linux-headers:
Install a set of kernel headers, matching the kernel for which the modules are
going to be built:

# apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.18-3-686


I tried 2.6.32.2 without success. what kernel+sources+headers should I be
trying?

I'm not sure exactly what you've tried, but if you're building the
kernel itself from source, you shouldn't be installing any header
packages - they're only for when you need to build stuff against a
kernel for which you don't have the source.
