I know for another post that using

apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)

I can get the kernel source, but I'm using the 3.0.0-13-lowlatency-pae kernel and using the command, I got this message:

Picking 'linux-lowlatency' as source package instead of 'linux-image-3.0.0-13-lowlatency-pae'

So, I will appreciate any help, hope that someone know where it can be located.

Thanks everybody in advance.

Firstly, can you confirm that you are using the PPA at https://launchpad.net/~abogani/+archive/ppa ?

Do you have both lines in your sources.list, the deb and the deb-src, ie (for 11.10):

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/abogani/ppa/ubuntu oneiric main 
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/abogani/ppa/ubuntu oneiric main 

If so, that should work - and does, for me.

My complete output (this was the second run of apt-get source so it had the downloads already):

chris@bun:~$ apt-get source linux-image-3.0.0-13-lowlatency-pae

If yours is different can you paste the entire output (as an edit to your question) please?

EDIT: hmm -pae is only available in i386 (for obvious reasons of PAE not necessary on x64, are you i386? Just noticed your picked package has no -pae prefix (as neither did mine, but I'm on x64).
