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.
Best,
Rob
