Ubuntu is composed of many packages and obtaining all the source is beyond the scope of my knowledge.

However since you have identified initrd image I think you are just looking to build the kernel. The initrd image is currently generated by some tools during installation of a kernel.

You can find information on obtaining the source and building the kernel refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel

It is aimed at building kernels for current Ubuntu releases - not for building upstream kernels from kernel.org

Can you help with this problem?
