Download it :
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/

And compile it :

Oh, and please, don't double post.

I think you're making a mistake here, "generic i686" isn't the kernel-version but the architecture.

If you want to find out your kernel-version, try the command uname with option -r

Code:

uname -r
