  just to resolve this ongoing discussion:

1)   - download and untar kernel source tarball in home directory
2)   - cd into top level of that source dir
3)   $ cp /boot/config<latest version> .config
4)   $ yes '' | make oldconfig
5)   $ make menuconfig     (to tweak whatever you want)
6)   $ make
7)   - go for lunch

  - become superuser, then

8)   # make INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 modules_install
9)   # make install
10)  # reboot

  did i miss anything?
