I find it very easy to create a custom kernel but I use gentoo which
pretty much requires you to do that so I have done this more than 100
times at home and at work. I am not sure how much it is different it
is with Ubuntu as I have only done this with gentoo but for me a sane
approach would be:
1) Obtain your current kernel src
2) Mount your /boot
3) uncompress /proc/config.gz to .config in your kernel source
This will make a kernel with the same options of your current running kernel.
4) Compile your kernel making any changes you need:
make menuconfig && make && make modules_install
5) Install your kernel
cp vmlinuz /boot/kernel-2.6.20-r4-xen
6) Update grub (or lilo) to use the new kernel
I just did this on a gentoo box at work so its fresh in my mind.
