So, I should follow the instructions in: start quote
Installing Mainline KernelsTo use the mainline kernel as-is you only only need to download and install the *image*.deb package that corresponds to your architecture, however if you need to build any external modules you also need the correct *header*.deb and *source*.deb packages. To install, download the common headers, architecture specific headers, and the architecture specific image. For example for 2.6.27.15 we have the following files, for i386 you would need those marked with B and C, amd64 take those marked A & C: A linux-headers-2.6.27-02062715-generic_2.6.27-02062715_amd64.debB linux-headers-2.6.27-02062715-generic_2.6.27-02062715_i386.debC linux-headers-2.6.27-02062715_2.6.27-02062715_all.debA linux-image-2.6.27-02062715-generic_2.6.27-02062715_amd64.debB linux-image-2.6.27-02062715-generic_2.6.27-02062715_i386.debOnce you have those downloaded they will need to be installed using dpkg: sudo dpkg -i *.debWhen this process completes you should have a new entry on your boot menu representing the mainline kernel. This will appear as an entry like this: Ubuntu Intrepid, kernel 2.6.27-02062715-generic end quote and go to this directory, for example, http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.2-rc2-oneiric/ and download these files linux-headers-3.2.0-030200rc2-generic_3.2.0-030200rc2.201111151435_i386.deb 15-Nov-2011 19:51 893K linux-headers-3.2.0-030200rc2_3.2.0-030200rc2.201111151435_all.deb 15-Nov-2011 19:35 11M linux-image-3.2.0-030200rc2-generic_3.2.0-030200rc2.201111151435_i386.deb 15-Nov-2011 19:51 35M and execute the last instructions quoted above. (I've never done this before, so I'm just checking I understand your request correctly.) regards, Frank On 17 November 2011 15:00, Joseph Salisbury <joseph.salisb...@canonical.com> wrote: > Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel?
