Compile kernel

Jan 19, 2009, 09:08 PM

What would be the command that enables one to compile a kernel --- to make my question clearer, in Gentoo one would do:

Code:

make menuconfig

and then set-up modules that need to be loaded at boot. What would be the Kubuntu Intrepid equivalent for such? I need this as I am trying to connect a SAMSUNG E250 phone to my system, and I wanted to see if I need a kernel module for SAMSUNG USB devices or similar.

Re: Compile kernel

going from memory here (since I'm not at home), but I think I used

Code:

make xconfig

the last time I built a kernel...but I don't remember if I had to install any packages to make that work or not.
