How can I install a newer kernel?

linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – I'm running the current stable Ubuntu version (Oneiric) but have issues with the shipped kernel. Newer kernel versions seem to have fixed it, but the kernel-ppa/ppa does not contain the most recent kernel which is why I want to install the kernel from the next stable version (Precise). I also have have Virtual Box installed which also need to work in the new kernel so the "kernel headers" have to be upgraded as well. How am I supposed to install the kernel packages from the next stable version (Precise) without upgrading all other packages? (HowTos)

fc 18 kernel not installed 16 weeks 3 days ago

I upgraded fc 17 to fc 18 using fedup (I also did the yum clean all prior to the upgrade and a distro-sync after). The fc 18 kernel was not installed, all other packages are fc 18, except the kernel which is the most recent fc 17 one. Which kernel is the correct version to install?

I encountered a bug in one of the newer kernel versions. There is no workaround; if I want to have sound at my system at all, I have to boot an older kernel version.

so i am building a series of custom kernels...

for one of them i am using a kernel that is older than my currently installed ones.

i am using rpm to install this kernel and it will not install, period.

does anybody know a work around, i don't get why i can't install this....what does it matter

The first stable version of Linux Kernel 3.4 has been released few days ago. For new changes and prominent features in Linux 3.4, refer to this page. This tutorial shows how to install the linux kernel 3.4.0 on Ubuntu 12.04 and 11.10.

i have an ubuntu desktop 11.10 64 bit upgraded from 11.04, with kernel 3.3.0 generic installed from packages. I plan to upgrade automatically to 12.04 LTS. I saw in the release info that the official kernel will be 3.2 (which is the stable one). Will upgrading "downgrade" my kernel? Is it actually possible to perform this upgrade? Thanks, Eddie

I'm looking at getting the 3.2 kernel for my laptop, since it increases battery life quite a bit, from what i understand.So my question is, is Sid stable enough to just run Unstable? I know by its very nature being labelled 'unstable', I should expect breakages. But testing seemed might stable to me, and Crunchbang, whose name suggests unstability is also stable.

Greg Kroah-Hartman announced the immediate availability for download of Linux kernel 3.4.37 LTS (long-term support).

Linux kernel 3.4.37 LTS comes with a lot of changes and improvements, just like the previous version.

“I'm announcing the release of the 3.4.37 kernel.

Simple question, I have some servers that were running 10.04 that I upgraded to 12.04.

So they were installed using 10.04 (kernel 2.6.32* I believe) and the version of ext4 that shipped then.

By upgrading to 12.04 and the newer kernel, does that enable TRIM automatically?

Warning: Do not do this on a production machine.If it breaks you get to keep all pieces. No support for this in the Crunchbang Forums!It works like this: 0. Prerequisites:    apt-get install git build-essential 1.
