| Given just the kernel version and ABI number you should be able to find the exact release the kernel was from. For example the 2.6.32-20 kernel is a v2.6.32 based kernel and is in the range 0-99. This will be recorded as the 2.6.32-0 kernel series in the [[Kernel/Dev/TopicBranches]] mapping tables (see ''Current Branches''). Once you have the release and branch you can obtain the source. | The exact upstream mainline tag from which the Ubuntu kernels were forked can be found in the [[http://people.canonical.com/~kernel/info/kernel-version-map.html|mainline kernel mapping]] table. |
