Dear Arindam, What I understand is, your system has two Ubuntu 12.04 installations side by side. Are you using any one of those two to compile the 2.6 kernel? If so, then executing "*sudo make install*" will copy the kernel vmlinux, initrd and System map files to /boot directory and trigger an "*update-grub*" to rebuild grub menu. Your new kernel should appear afterwards. May be you are not being able to see the kernel listing because of having a ZERO timeout in GRUB menu which is causing it to boot to the default one directly. Make sure it is not the case.

Dear Sir, I am currently trying to boot a custom kernel from source. 2.6.61.32. and tried to replace the kernel of an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with kernel 3.11.X.Y. That computer also has an another Ubuntu installation 12.04 with same kernel as that of the another Ubuntu installation. Now , when I boot the machine and try to boot with the 2.6 kernel, I can't do that and Grub is not even mentioning that particular version of the kernel. If any help about this issue is possible , please drop me a mail.
