Ubuntu 18.04 - Kernel build frustration

I am totally frustrated after 3 days trying to build a kernel for Ubuntu 18.04. I needed to build a kernel to enable "RT_GROUP_SCHED" which is required by mininet. The documentation is contradictory. It shouldn't be this difficult to enable something in the kernel like this. Help appreciated. Here is what I tried:
I installed the following, again I think some of these are within build-essential though documentation is not consistent.
sudo apt-get install -y fakeroot kernel-package linux-source uboot-mkimage gcc libc6-dev binutils-dev make bin86 module-init-tools build-essential
I tried downloading the source by unhashing the following line in /etc/apt/sources.list
deb-src http://ug.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted
deb-src http://ug.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates main restricted
sudo apt-get update && sudp apt-get upgrade
I tried both these options to download the source and they downloaded stubs but not the source.
apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)
apt-get build-dep linux-image-$(uname -r)
apt-get install linux-source
Finally, I resorted to a direct download.
curl -O http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux_4.15.0.orig.tar.gz
tar -xzvf linux_4.15.0.orig.tar.gz
cd linux_4.15
I made the change
make menuconfig
General setup --->
Control Group support --->
CPU Controller --->
[*] Group scheduling for SCHED_RR/FIFO
Do you wish to save your new configuration? <Yes>
I then tried to compile.
make-kpkg clean
fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --revision=1.0.custom kernel_image
and off it went so I went to bed only to find in the morning it had used by entire harddrive.

How much disk space do you have? Compiling linux kernel could take 15-20GB disk size.
