I don't think it's that difficult. Even if you manage to compile a kernel which won't boot, you can still boot the debian kernel. I always keep one installed.
A working config is in /boot/config-[version]-amd64. Login as an unprivileged user. Copy it to your folder of kernel source files and rename it to .config . Try "make nconfig" and start by deleting the drivers for hardware not present in your computer.
The command "make" (without options) builds the kernel.
