Hello, I'm fairly inexperienced but I can document things carefully and
hopefully we'll work through this together. I got stuck on my first
attempt by some dependency problems.

Test 1:
I selected what appeared to be the most recent release under
v4.2-rc4-unstable/ --27-Jul-2015 22:15 	
Here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.2-rc4-unstable/

and the first in this folder that fits my architecture:
linux-headers-4.2.0-040200rc4-generic_4.2.0-040200rc4.201507271733_amd64.deb

pthvadmin@pthvadmin-Satellite-E45t-A:~/UpstreamKernel1$ sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-4.2.0-040200rc4-generic_4.2.0-040200rc4.201507271733_amd64.deb
(Reading database ... 191161 files and directories currently installed.)

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-headers-4.2.0-040200rc4-generic:

 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 linux-headers-4.2.0-040200rc4-generic
----------

Test 2:
It appears the package its dependent on its the same except not 'generic'? 
Next I tried:
 linux-headers-4.2.0-040200rc4_4.2.0-040200rc4.201507271733_all.deb
from the same folder. This had a suspiciously short output but installed properly. I tried rebooting but no new kernels appeared in GRUB. I thought maybe this could have fulfilled some of the dependencies and tried the first file again: 
linux-headers-4.2.0-040200rc4-generic_4.2.0-040200rc4.201507271733_amd64.deb

pthvadmin@pthvadmin-Satellite-E45t-A:~/UpstreamKernel1$ sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-4.2.0-040200rc4-generic_4.2.0-040200rc4.201507271733_amd64.deb

This output mentions elantech and might be helpful. The make.log is
attached. Please let me know if I should try any other specific kernels
and how I can do so more successfully as a next step.
