1 It is quite simple, take this config file which is the default distro
2 config: http://esc69.midphase.com/~moiress/good_config (compiles most
3 everything as modules, if you don't want the compile to take forever you
4 might want to change the config to only include what is absolutely necessary
5 to boot your system)
6
7 Then:
8
9 1) Download: http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.22.9.tar.bz2
10
11 2) tar xvjf linux-2.6.22.9.tar.bz2
12
13 3) cd linux-2.6.22.9
14
15 4) copy the previously mentioned config file here, be sure it is named
16 .config!
17
18 5) make oldconfig
19
20 6) make
21
22 7) make install
23
24 8) sudo update-initramfs -k kernelversion -c -v
25
26 9) sudo update-grub
27
28 10) edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add initrd line below kernel line for the
29 kernel you just compiled and installed
30
31 11) reboot and enjoy!
