type as root:
#cd /usr/src
#apt-get install kernel-source-2.6.10
#tar jxvf kernel-source-2.6.10.tar.bz2
#cd kernel-sorce-2.6.10
#make oldconfig
push enter to all questions
#make xconfig
now you can remove drivers that you dont need and add the drivers you need, if you dont know witch drivers you need type "lspci" berfore
Than save and exit xconfig
#make modules
#make
#make modules_install
#make install
If there is an error you have to go back to xconfig and change something
IIf not type:
#cd /usr/src/
#rm linux (remove the symlink linux)
#ln -s kernel-source-2.6.10 linux (new symlink to your new kernel)
#vi /etc/lilo.conf
edit the first line to vga=normal
then go down ther is written something like /boot/kernel-source-2.6.8-chw
change this to /boot/kernel-source-2.6.10
quit vi with "esc" than ":wq" (write quit)
#lilo
now reboot and hope that it run the new kernel.
This worked for me I dont know if it is the best way but it worked.
Good luck
