Http://www.kernel.org/

Download the source code. Here I download the linux-2.6.29.4.tar.bz2

3. decompress the source code:

$ Tar xvjf linux-2.6.29.4.tar.bz2

4. Create a compilation configuration file

$ Linux-2.6.29.4 cd

$ Vi Makefile

Change EXTRAVERSION =. 4 to EXTRAVERSION =-4-generic

$ Sudo cp/boot/config-2.6.28-11-generic./. config

$ Make menuconfig

Configure your own options or select Load an Alternate Configuration File to use the System Configuration

5. Compile the deb installation package

$ Make-kpkg clean

$ Sudo make-kpkg -- initrd kernel_image kernel_headers modules_image

After the compilation is complete, it will be generated in the previous level directory

Linux-headers-2.6.29-4-generic_2.6.29-4-generic-10.00.Custom_i386.deb and linux-image-2.6.29-4-generic_2.6.29-4-generic-10.00.Custom_i386.deb

6. Install the kernel mirror and the module package

$ Cd ..

$ Sudo dpkg-I linux-image-2.6.29-4-generic_2.6.29-4-generic-10.00.Custom_i386.deb
