I downloaded and then installed the kernel from http://kernel.org ,this should be enough i thought ? And i have the kernel source, that's where i point to in my command. I did a make menuconfig for my kernel configuration and then a make (make does it all in these kernel versions) so now my kernel is totally okay, and i also left the source on its place.
Could you be more specific please ? Thnx!
