I haven't compile a kernel since the end of 2009, but those symblink are normal (when you install the debs in the same installation where you build it)
Code:
make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot kernel_headers kernel_image initrd --append-to-version=-custom --revision 1 --us --uc
If you install the built headers, you can delete the source symblink and re-point build to /usr/src/linux-headers-something-something
P.S & FWIW: Are you running "make oldconfig" before running make xconfig? |
