Thanks for your advice.


I'll run;

# apt-get remove linux-source-2.6.24 kernel-package linux-kernel-devel

to delelt all of them.


But I can't find linux-source-2.6.26.3 on Ubuntu repo

# apt-cache search linux-source-2.6.26.3
No printout


# apt-cache search linux-source
linux-source - Linux kernel source with Ubuntu patches
linux-source-2.6.24 - Linux kernel source for version 2.6.24 with
Ubuntu patches


I found;
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.26.3.tar.gz 

whether download it to build a customized kernel according to;
http://linux-vserver.org/Installation_on_Ubuntu#Howto_Devel_2.6.17.14-vs2.0.2.1-grsec2.1.9


But I can't find a patch file to match it.


Whether download the following patch tarball;
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/patch-2.6.26.3.bz2

and decompress it?


TIA
