Rony,
Kubuntu 5.10. Does it make a difference? I thought kernels were independent of distros. What about the initrd.img files, what does one do about that when using a new kernel?
Installing the kernel by hand is really not recommended as it's prone to errors. Build a package and install it. First install `kernel-package' which is a set of helper scripts to create a Debian/Ubuntu package. $ sudo apt-get install kernel-package Then from the Linux kernel source tree, do this (after doing `make menuconfig`) $ make-kpkg --revision 1.0 kernel_image This will create a .deb called kernel-image-2.6.16.11_1.0_i386.deb just outside the directory. Install it as $ sudo dpkg -i kernel-image-2.6.16.11_1.0_i386.deb And you are done. Enjoy the new kernel.
Regards, BG
