Problems with installing kernel binary on Debian

[Paul King]

The following email was sent earlier, and it contains a correction. The
correct kernel version is 2.6.8, not 2.2.8. In addition, the system is
relatively up-to-date (updated to to "testing").

Hello

I have been having problems installing the kernel binary for version
2.6.8 on a machine with an AMD K7 on Debian. There is a config script
that appears to run mkinintrd, and it exits with an error "cpu: command
not found". here is the full text of the error. Hope someone can help:
