Upgrading to Kernel version 2.3.28

[Jhaanaki MK <jhaanakimk@future.futsoft.com>]

Hi,
  I have with me a software which runs in any Linux Distribution, but requires
a kernel version of 2.3.28 or higher.
 
  Is it possible to upgrade an existing 2.0.34 kernel versioned Debian distribution
to kernel version 2.3.28 ? 
  If so, where can I get more details on how to proceed with the same ?

  When I tried to compile with the 2.3.28 complete source available
in the linux site - I faced compilation problems in Debian. Hence,
quick and detailed responses would prove very helpful to me.


Thanks and best regards
