i tried to change kernel by using the http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/202 article...i just install it by using the command aptitude -f install kernel-source-2.6.8 cd /usr/src tar xvfj kernel-source-2.6.8.tar.bz2 make menuconfig then it shows some errors.. then i installed "apt-get install libncurses5-dev"... then i again run make menuconfig but it shows some errors... the messages are shown below HOSTCC /scritps/kconfig/mconf.o scripts/kconfig/mconf.c:91: error: static declaration of "current_menu' follows non-static declaration. scripts/kconfig/lkc.h:63: error: previous declaration of "current_menu" was here make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/mconf.o] error 1 make:***[menuconfig] error 2 thanks in advance

Do you have libncursesw5 and libncursesw5-dev?

try 'apt-get install build-essential' then make menuconfig, remembering you have to be logged in as root, obviously. or use sudo if you have it installed.
ie 'sudo make menuconfig'
ie 'sudo make menuconfig'

It's GCC 4 related. I solved the problem by downloading a 2.6.20.4 from kernel.org, and using it to make the kernel .deb.
