weirdness with compiling a 2.6.33 kernel on arm debian

[dave b]

I believe that the 2.6.32.7 kernel I compiled and was using on the
device while compiling the 2.6.33 kernel had *issues* (although most
likely not kernel related). In particular various issues (apt-get not
working) including on one piece of hardware using the kernel binary as
produced by others.

Thank you.
