Having a flu, gave me a couple of hours in bed to try to build Linux kernel from the source. I tried the 8th release candidate of 2.6.29 kernel. Everything went so smooth and without problems.
#install the required packages for the compilation sudo apt-get install build-essential bin86 kernel-package libqt3-headers libqt3-mt-dev wget libncurses5 libncurses5-dev fakeroot # download and unpack the source mkdir kernel cd kernel wget -c http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/linux-2.6.29-rc8.tar.gz tar -vxzf linux-2.6.29-rc8.tar.gz cd linux-2.6.29-rc8/ # import the old compilation settings cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config && yes "" | make oldconfig # do extra config if you need to make menuconfig # start building CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=3 fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --revision=386 kernel_image kernel_headers modules_image # install the compiled kernel cd .. sudo dpkg -i *.deb
It took about 90 minute to complete for me. It may took much more on older computers.

I've been trying to make ubuntu work for me but it kept my head spinning. I've been reading a lot of ubuntu books online and hopefully I can make it work this time.
