I am working with a fresh install of Debian and following the instructions
online. 

I went through instructions 1 through 17 but I can't reboot because I it
couldn't make the initrd file. I don't know if there is something more I
need to do or if it is something broken. I would appreciate someone
pointing me in the right direction. 

Here is the output I'm geting when trying to install the kernel for a
second time. (meaning I installed got the errors, then ran the command
again to capture the output.) 

Reading package lists... 

Building dependency tree... 

Reading state information... 

linux-image-2.6.14-ssi-686-smp is already the newest version. 

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer
required: 

 libklibc klibc-utils libvolume-id0 grub-common 

Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. 

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 

1 not fully installed or removed. 

After this operation, 0B of additional disk space will be
used.
