I tried this. 

When I tried to compile the kernel with 
cd /usr/src
build.sh kernel=GENERIC

I got these error messages:

cleandiring the kern library objects

Then I tried to compile the kernel the "traditional" way by
cd ../compile/GENERIC
make depend
make

This way everything compiled without any problems...

Any ideas?
