I use the program found in Debian called kernel-package to build my kernels. It compiles the kernel and produces a Debian package. This package isn't official, but I find it useful to create local packages of my kernels so I can easily keep track of what I have installed in aptitude. Download a tarball of kernel source from kernel.org. Checkout speakup from the speakup CVS using the checkout script on the speakup web site. Configure your kernel for your system. Finally type make-kpkg kernel_image If it finishes with no errors, you will have .deb package in the parent directory. just type dpkg -i packagename as root to install. Reboot and hope you configured the kernel with all important hardware support. Hope this helps.
