kernel modules compile on Debian

[Francois Prowse]

Jens,

Ok - I've got the source using apt-get and it placed it in /usr/src

all good sor far and i unzipped the archive and it created a 
/usr/src/modules directory with all the mol files. I then went to 
/usr/src/linux as instructed in the Readme and issued make-kpkg with the 
following results.
debian:/usr/src# cd linux/
debian:/usr/src/linux# make-kpkg modules_image
/usr/bin/make    \
                                 ARCH=ppc oldconfig 
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux'
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-ppc asm)
/bin/sh scripts/Configure -d arch/ppc/config.in
#

[N/y/?] (NEW) make[1]: *** [oldconfig] Error 1
make: *** [stamp-kernel-configure] Interrupt


Looks like it is trying to build the entire kernel....this can't be right

Am I doing this wrong...
