Nope. The kernel configuration has been revised a few times, so that's not going to work. If you're not certain how to build a kernel, it could be better to start with a 2.4 kernel since you need to upgrade some other packages (modutils etc) for 2.5. There's a kernel-compiling howto out there somewhere and a README in the tar.gz from kernel.org. -- Klaasjan Brand <kjb@xxxxxx>
