See Section ref sec:inst-kern By calling your own compiled kernel version 2:kayon. That is, kernel-image Thus, the packaging system will not try to install a more recent 2.
Debian kernel packages always have the version number the same as the kernel version number. For the particular release of Debian being used the version numbers will be different. The kernel-package provides tools to generate, from the compiled kernel image, a genuine Debian package that you simply install as a standard type package.
The resulting package can be installed and uninstalled cleanly and correctly with dpkg and wajig. Note that you do not need the kernel-headers package as all the headers required are in the kernel-source package.
The headers were split out for other reasons compiling other packages without installing all of the kernel sources. Installing the kernel-source package simply places the archived kernel source file kernel-source Similarly for any kernel modules you wish to also install like alsa. You can also obtain a more recent or even just any different version of the kernel from the net yourself and still use the Debian kernel-package utilities.
The next task is to configure the kernel to suit your setup. There are very many configuration options and most can be ignored. There are three methods available for selecting the configuration. The first and most basic is config which presents each option, sequentially, for you to decide what to do.
This is a long process. The menu-based menuconfig presents a menu in a terminal. Options are grouped hierarchically and you can navigate to the specific options you wish to modify. The X Window System configurator is xconfig. We might suggest xconfig as the more convenient of the methods, but menuconfig is a good alternative if there is no X Window System running.
A good starting point for configuration is the basic configuration that is the default provided by Debian.
