Yeah, we've all heard it before.  I've got this friend with a problem.... :)

What I would recommend is, download the latest kernel from kernel.org or 
some mirror.  Read the README in the /usr/src/linux directory that is 
created when unpacking the source.  It's very clear on how to build a 
new kernel.  He should use the 'make menuconfig' option if he's building 
from a console.  'make xconfig if he's building from X.

He can also look at using make oldconfig, which will default off of the 
current kernel's config.
