It is quite simple, take this config file which is the default distro
config: http://esc69.midphase.com/~moiress/good_config (compiles most
everything as modules, if you don't want the compile to take forever you
might want to change the config to only include what is absolutely necessary
to boot your system)

Then:

1) Download: http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.22.9.tar.bz2

2) tar xvjf linux-2.6.22.9.tar.bz2

3) cd linux-2.6.22.9

4) copy the previously mentioned config file here, be sure it is named
.config!

5) make oldconfig

6) make

7) make install

8) sudo update-initramfs -k kernelversion -c -v

9) sudo update-grub

10) edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add initrd line below kernel line for the
kernel you just compiled and installed

11) reboot and enjoy!
