Ubuntu kernel Rebuild

# Get source

apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)

# Get tools

apt-get build-dep linux-image-$(uname -r)

# Copy current config

cp -v /boot/config-$(uname -r)   .config

# Customize config

make menuconfig

# parallel build

make -j

# Install kernel modules first (~260MB with debug symbols stripped)

make INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 modules_install

# Install kernel image (~6MB)

make install

# Reboot
