Here is my guide on Compiling 3.4.x Vanilla Final – Ubuntu/Debian using the debian way
This article is about compiling a kernel on Ubuntu systems. It describes how to build a custom kernel using the latest unmodified kernel sources from www.kernel.org (vanilla kernel) so that you are independent from the kernels supplied by your distribution.
Install the Required packages for building it
sudo apt-get install git-core kernel-package fakeroot build-essential ncurses-dev
Then download latest kernel version
cd /usr/src sudo wget --continue http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/linux-3.4.5.tar.bz2 sudo tar jxvf linux-3.4.5.tar.bz2 cd linux-3.4.5 $ sudo cp /boot/config-`uname -r` ./.config $ sudo make menuconfig
Disable xen Processor Type and Features -> Paravirtualized Guest Support -> Xen
support otherwise you will get this error
sudo make-kpkg clean sudo fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-vanillaice kernel_image kernel_headers cd .. sudo dpkg -i linux-image-3.4.* sudo shutdown -r now
you can install the headers too from /usr/src/linux-headers-3.4.*-*
in my case i can show you how the packages are named
ls *.deb linux-image-3.4.*-vanillaice_4.4.*-vanillaice-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb linux-headers-3.4.*-vanillaice_4.4.*-vanillaice-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb
