Sometimes, this is the price you pay for an education. In Ubuntu, stick with the kernel that is provided if you can. The Ubuntu kernels are heavily patched. If you compile your own kernel, you will loose some functionality that the default kernel provided.

Note: Already compiled Ubuntu kernels can be downloaded from here:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
