Dear Arindam, What I understand is, your system has two Ubuntu 12.04 installations side by side. Are you using any one of those two to compile the 2.6 kernel? If so, then executing "*sudo make install*" will copy the kernel vmlinux, initrd and System map files to /boot directory and trigger an "*update-grub*" to rebuild grub menu. Your new kernel should appear afterwards. May be you are not being able to see the kernel listing because of having a ZERO timeout in GRUB menu which is causing it to boot to the default one directly. Make sure it is not the case.
