= Intro =
Using Ubuntu server 8.04 in Parallels Desktop under Mac OS X. Will
follow the official way of ubuntu of building, compiling and installing
kernels as described at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
(nb all command below ran as root)

Instead of using version 2.6.21.3 I used 2.6.24 (as other version is no
longer available in standard set) , indentifier flag has been put in
step 3, will be defined using compile time.

= Step 1 - preparation =
#Prefetch required packages
$apt-get install linux-kernel-devel fakeroot build-essential
#Get source
$apt-get install linux-source
$cd /usr/src
$tar -xvjf /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.24.tar.bz2
$ln -s linux-source-2.6.24 linux

= Step 2 - configure =
#Fetch old config and re-use
$cd /usr/src/linux
$cp -vi /boot/config-`uname -r` .config

= Step 3 - compile & install =
$fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-liacs-os-assignment-5 kernel-image kernel-headers
dpkg -i linuxlinux-headers-2.6.24.3-liacs-os-assignment-5_2.6.24.3-liacs-os-assignment-5-10.00.Custom_i386.deb
dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.24.3-liacs-os-assignment-5_2.6.24.3-liacs-os-assignment-5-10.00.Custom_i386.deb
#Update grub
$ update-grub
#Reboot and choose new kernel to boot
$ reboot
