環境：
Wind7主機+Debian6虛擬機，虛擬機軟件是VirtualBox
第一步、下載Linux源碼首先需要看一下當前Linux使用的版本
pengdl@debian:~$ uname -r
2.6.32-5-686
可以看到，當前使用的Linux內核版本是：2.6.32.5
為了說明問題，我們也從網上下載linux-2.6.32.5（當然也可以下載最新的版本，但是有風險）。下載地址如下：
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/
我下載的是：linux-2.6.32.5.tar.xz
第二步、解壓Linux內核將來把內核源碼解壓到/usr/src/kernels下
mkdir -p /usr/src/kernels
tar -xJf linux-2.6.32.5.tar.xz -C /usr/src/kernels/第三步、編譯Linux內核
清理垃圾：
cd /usr/src/kernels/linux-2.6.32.5
make mrPRoper
make clean
編譯內核前需要配置，為了說明問題，直接將本機自帶的配置config-2.6.32-5-686拷貝到剛才解壓的目錄下(如果下載了比較新的內核，就需對照著config-2.6.32-5-686自己配置了)，并重命名為.config
cp /boot/config-2.6.32-5-686 /usr/src/kernels/linux-2.6.32.5/.config
cd /usr/src/kernels/linux-2.6.32.5
make menucongfig
修改General setup內的Local version為pengdl，目的是防止執行make install和make modules_install的時候跟舊的發生沖突。
make bzImage -j4
make modules -j4
make modules_install
make install
制作initrd鏡像
mkinitramfs 2.6.32.5pengdl -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32.5pengdl
其中2.6.32.5pengdl 就是執行完make modules_install后，在/lib/modules下新生成的文件夾
此時/lib/modules和/boot下的內容如下（其中帶有686的是系統原先就有的，帶pengdl的是我們新生成的，
其中之所以有以.old結尾的文件，是因為執行了兩次make install，實際上執行一次就行了。手動將*.old刪除）：
debian:/usr/src/kernels/linux-2.6.32.5# ls /lib/modules/
2.6.32-5-686 2.6.32.5pengdl
debian:/usr/src/kernels/linux-2.6.32.5# ls /boot/
config-2.6.32-5-686 System.map-2.6.32-5-686
config-2.6.32.5pengdl System.map-2.6.32.5pengdl
config-2.6.32.5pengdl.old System.map-2.6.32.5pengdl.old
grub vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-686
initrd.img-2.6.32-5-686 vmlinuz-2.6.32.5pengdl
initrd.img-2.6.32.5pengdl vmlinuz-2.6.32.5pengdl.old
debian:/usr/src/kernels/linux-2.6.32.5#第四步、更新grub
grub-mkconfig >/boot/grub/grub.cfg
可以看看新生成的grub.cfg的內容：
#
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
#
# It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates
# from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub
#
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ###

如果按照上面的配置，啟動時，Linux 2.6.32.5pengdl 會放在第一個，如果不手動按上下鍵進行選擇，那么啟動的將是我們剛編譯出來的內核，如何讓系統默認啟動舊的內核呢？這里有幾種方法：
1、手動修改grub.conf，交換舊內核和新內核的位置：
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###
menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-5-686' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos1)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 2c7658ba-7c5c-45f2-8117-d70fcadcdda6
echo 'Loading Linux 2.6.32-5-686 ...'
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-686 root=UUID=2c7658ba-7c5c-45f2-8117-d70fcadcdda6 ro quiet
echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-686
}
menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (recovery mode)' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos1)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 2c7658ba-7c5c-45f2-8117-d70fcadcdda6
echo 'Loading Linux 2.6.32-5-686 ...'
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-686 root=UUID=2c7658ba-7c5c-45f2-8117-d70fcadcdda6 ro single
echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-686
}
menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32.5pengdl' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos1)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 2c7658ba-7c5c-45f2-8117-d70fcadcdda6
echo 'Loading Linux 2.6.32.5pengdl ...'
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32.5pengdl root=UUID=2c7658ba-7c5c-45f2-8117-d70fcadcdda6 ro quiet
echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32.5pengdl
}
menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32.5pengdl (recovery mode)' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos1)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 2c7658ba-7c5c-45f2-8117-d70fcadcdda6
echo 'Loading Linux 2.6.32.5pengdl ...'
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32.5pengdl root=UUID=2c7658ba-7c5c-45f2-8117-d70fcadcdda6 ro single
echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32.5pengdl
}
### END /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###
2、或者，修改 set default="0" ，將0改為2。直接在這里改，如果再更新grub.conf，default的值又變為了0，其中在grub.conf的最上面給出了方法：
#
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
#
# It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates
# from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub
#
我們應該修改/etc/default/grub這個文件，將GRUB_DEFAULT=0 改為GRUB_DEFAULT=2，然后重新執行
grub-mkconfig >/boot/grub/grub.cfg
下面是啟動測試：（可以用上下箭頭選擇有啟動的內核）
注意：
因為我是用的是VirtualBox虛擬機，更新完內核后，需要重新安裝VirtualBox增強工具，增強工具的安裝方法參見：
http://www.CUOXin.com/pengdonglin137/p/3366765.html#a8
安裝增強工具的時候，會把上次安裝的增強工具給刪掉。
