Download the source code and unpack root# cd /usr/src root# wget http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.22.1.tar.bz2 root# bzip2 -d linux-2.6.22.1.tar.bz2 root# tar -xvf linux-2.6.22.1.tar Create new default link to new source code root# cd /usr/src root# rm linux root# ln -s linux-2.6.22.1 linux Create a new config file based on the old one, this will prompt for new configuration settings. Read carefully every question. root# make oldconfig Compile the kernel into .DEB package root# fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version "-newkernel" \ --revision "20081208" --us --uc --initrd kernel_image Then install .deb packages created in parent directory and link linux link to the new header directory in /usr/src.
