Can I use linux-source to rebuild the kernel for my CPU?

http://askubuntu.com – I've recently built a kernel for my Intel i7 basically using this guide modified to build the 3.5 kernel with patches from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.5-quantal/. This all worked fine, however, I noticed that the patch set in apt (3.5.0-22) is considerably newer than what I found on kernel.ubuntu.com for the 3.5 kernel. It seems the linux-source package should have what I need to build an i7 flavour of the exact same patch set, but how do I prepare it? Is it already patched, do I only need to copy "debian.master/" and "debian/" into the source directory? (HowTos)

can i download latest .deb file of kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ (for example v3.7-rc1-quantal) and install it on Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (precise) or any old Ubuntu like 10.04 LTS.

I noticed, that the power consumption in my ASUS P53E notebook is doubled (from 10W to 20W) when I change from kernel 3.6.1 to 3.6.2 (or later).

Hi!

I am running a fresh FC17 install and need to patch and recompile my kernel for RT functionality. The RT patches only comes for some versions (patch-3.4.10-rt18.patch.gz being the latest one).

I tried to follow this guide

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Buildi...Get_the_Source

to get the Fedora kernel source, but it does not explain how to get a specific kernel version.

I am trying to upgrade my Ubuntu 12.04 to Linux Kernel 3.6.9 as described here.

In an effort to fix problems which I was having with 12.04 on the stock kernel, I had updated to v3.5.1-quantal successfully in terminal from the following official website:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

Upon reboot, the position/resolution of the screen was changed, and my mouse no longer works.

I maintain a customized kernel, also I provide patches that you can use directly for major version of kernel source code, now I got a classic problem,

I developed the patch based on 3.7.8 kernel, as newer version 3.7.9 is out, I had to develop the patch for 3.7.9 as well, but how should I do this quickly?

Right now, I download the whole source code of 3.7.9, migrate the code to new version of ke

Hello, As mentioned by the guide below, i am trying to build Linux kernel on my system.

I'm wanting to use SDP under Ubuntu Server. However, the kernel doesn't seem to have SDP kernel modules in it.

I thought I'd try to compile a kernel with them in, but the kernel source that comes with Ubuntu 12.04 doesn't seem to have this module. I've seen comments that suggest it's not in the mainline kernel yet. Although those comments were made in 2009.

How do I get SDP into my kernel?
