That's where to find it when you configure your kernel. In the kernel source
dir run 'make menuconfig'. It will give you a menu system to configure the
kernel. Then you need to make your choices, save the configuration, compile
the kernel, install the modules, copy the new kernel image in your /boot dir
(ideally without replacing your working image), and reboot your system,
praying that your system will start again... :-)

There are many howto's out there on how precisely to do this. My favorite is
the one of gentoo installation guide:

compiling the kernel:

installing the new kernel in /boot:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=10

(small differences may apply for other distros)
