Where is the problem? What have I to do?

If I have to conpile the kernel sources, have I to install any required program?

Finally, if the kernel works, can i remove the kernel 2.4.22-xfs packages?

Thanks in advance
Well I see no mention of you installing the module-init-tools or the linux-kernel-headers packages. Perhaps you could explain in more detail the steps you took in the compile as well. You could remove the 2.4.22-xfs kernel if you get the new to boot but it is always nice to have the working install kernel leftover in case you have any problems down the line this way you know that it should be bootable and when booted it should work as it did before.
