Comment 54 for bug 578506

This bug still affect natty narval, so was for me.

After n-th kernel recompile, i've noted down what step could be followed for do it:
--
sudo apt-get install linux-source

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install kernel-package
sudo apt-get install gcc
sudo apt-get install libncurses5
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
sudo apt-get install libqt3-mt-dev

cd /usr/src
sudo tar --bzip2 -xvf linux-source-2.6.32.tar.bz2
sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.32 /usr/src/linux
cd /usr/src/linux

sudo patch -p1 < /pathto/patch
sudo patch -p1 < /pathto/patch_ec

sudo make menuconfig

sudo make-kpkg clean

//i've dual core
export CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=2
sudo fakeroot make.kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-by-luca kernel-image kernel-headers

//go to drink some beers

cd ..

//enabling vesa splash ??
echo vesafb | sudo tee -a /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
echo fbcon | sudo tee -a /etc/initramfs-tools/modules

sudo dpkg -i *.deb
sudo update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.32-by-luca
sudo update-grub

sudo reboot
--

NOTE: change kernel version and path with your own.
