2.5.68-mm3 and a simple mistake

What have I done wrong?

This is Debian 3.0r1. I am running 2.5.68-osdl2 and decided to try 2.5.68-mm3. I did tar -xvf with linux-2.5.68.tar in /usr/src, then bunzipped 2.5.68-mm3.bz2 in /usr/src. Before beginning this, I had removed the 2.5.68 directory I had used with compiling -osdl2, so the linux-2.5.68 dir was fresh. I did "patch -p0 < 2.5.68-mm3" which went through fine. I configured it to my liking, and since this is Debian, did "make-kpkg -rev dp1 kernel_image" (dp = dual processor, as opposed to my little brother's old Pentium 133). That had worked with 2.5.68-osdl2, but now I got:

I know the personal helpdesk stuff, but I seriously suspect there's an issue someone else might also run into.
