You'll need to get the kernel source for 2.6.7.
    apt-get install kernel-source.2.6.7

Once that's installed, untar it in /usr/src/ and make a symlink to it.
 /usr/src/linux -> /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.7.

    cd /usr/src
    tar xjvf kernel-source-2.6.7.tar.bz2
    ln -s kernel-source-2.6.7 linux

Next, cd to /usr/src/linux and copy /boot/config-2.6.7-1-686 to
/usr/src/linux/.config

    cp /boot/config-2.6.7-1-686 .config

Finally, you'll need to setup the sources: 

    make oldconfig
    make include/asm
    make include/linux/version.h
    make SUBDIRS=scripts


This is how I do it - I know the 2.6 kernel is supposed to have an
easier way, but I've not seen/read how to do it yet.

HTH,
