The last line in this pasted block didn't work for me (2.6.38)


      4.2.1 Preparation

Run the following commands:

$ apt-get source linux-2.6

    This will download and unpack the linux-2.6 source package, making
    the tree available in the linux-2.6-/version/ directory. As always,
    the revision part of the version of this package (for example, 8 in
    2.6.18-8) will determine its patchlevel with respect to the original
    upstream kernel source.

# apt-get install build-essential fakeroot
# apt-get build-dep linux-2.6




Instead, I tried
apt-get build-dep linux-source-2.6
