Hello,

You'd better read some things online before trying to compile a kernel then

So that at least you know what you're getting into and what to do or where to look when you encounter problems.

Here are some good basic things to know:
Getting started with Linux
Linux is not Windows
Linux FAQ for Newbies

Those are only the basics, there's a lot more to find on the Internet.

Kind regards,

Eric

You'd probably be better off telling us what kind of problems your having to just try to troubleshoot it yourself. I highly doubt that you need to recompile your kernel.
