It's quite difficult to work out what you are talking about
when you top-post.

So you are getting kernel errors with a patch you have added?
Wouldn't it be more logical to say there was something wrong with the patch,
rather than the kernel?

There is almost no connection between the distribution
and compilation of "virgin" kernels, I would have thought.
In any case, why not say what errors you get with the unpatched kernel?

You don't actually have to say "make dep" with recent (2.6.*) kernels.
You also don't need to say "make bzImage" or even "make all";
just "make" will do (followed by "make modules_install" and "make install").

You'd have to copy "initrd*.img" too,
as well as the files under /lib/modules/<version>/ .
