Compiling linux kernel 2.6.33.2

It has been a long time, since I did some kernel compilation.
I was planning to compile a new kernel and play around with it over the week end. So I downloaded linux-2.6.33.2. I am running linux on virtual machine, as I don't have other options:-)

Because of some other activities/issues I could not achieve what I had planned. I could not compile and install it yesterday. Today I started off again and managed to get it compiled and installed.
Earlier I used to create initrd image using mkinitrd. mkinitrd is no more available in ubuntu and I had to use the following command to create the initramfs image,

update-initramfs -c –k 2.6.33.2

Now my Ubuntu 9.10 is running 2.6.33.2 kernel:-)

I badly want to do some hacking, but I have to go to sleep now:-(
Let's see what can be done, in the coming days..
