 I really do not know where to find the sources for this kernel
 version, as it is a customized Debian kernel.
 If you can not help, I need to download the newest kernel from
 Kernel.org and recompile?

 Thank you for you help

Hey,
  You most likely only need the header files. Try:
  # apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

  If it insists on the full kernel source then there are linux-source
packages
  # apt-cache search linux-source

  Hope this helps.

cheers,
Owen.

What do you mean by a customised kernel? Where did you get it from?
If you just mean it is a distribution debian kernel and hence different
from the vanila kernel.org version, then
apt-get install linux-source-2.6.18
and untaring the resultant archive should give you what you want.

For more details, see the thread 'Kernel source packages..' from where I
was working out how to reproduce my kernel from source.
