Can't not compile Kernel Interface on Debian

I tried to compile the kernel interface for Debian.

I use the kernel 2.6.8-1-k7. I have installed:
- kernel-headers-2.6.8-1,
- kernel-headers-2.6.8-1-k7
- kernel-image-2.6.8-1-k7
- kernel-source-2.6.8

I have also copied the config file form /boot/config-2.6.8-1-k7 to
..config in /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8.

But, I always get en error! Does someone know this problem? (See Log-file)

('no' will a

- No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would
you li
ke the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your

rom the NVIDIA ftp site (ftp://download.nvidia.com)? (Answer: Yes)
- No matching precompiled kernel interface was found on the NVIDIA ftp
site;
this means that the installer will need to compile a kernel
interface for
your kernel.

you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel
installed on your system.

Don't do this to yourself. Debian gets confused with the way Nvidia handles
the installation, so it comes down to DIY.

Follow the instructions on this page, you won't be disappointed. It may not
be the simplest way, but it's definitely the cleanest.
