That's baffling. I haven't changed anything in that area since
I built my last debian kernel (quite a while ago). It's a stock
setup via apt-get. 

I just noticed something, David. There's no space left on that
partition:

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda9             464M  453M     0 100% /usr

I'll move the tarballs to a partition where I have lots of space
and symlink the unpacked kernel source tree to /usr/src/linux and
try again.

Good grief! :-(
