12.04 Compiling Kernel 3.2 to Latest

[XBMC old School]

Is it possible to recompile Ubuntu 12.04 with the latest linux 3.5.4 Kernel release? I had a little trouble trying to recompile 10.04 with the latest kernel last year. If 12.04 is a 3.2 linux kernel, does that mean I can only recompile it with a 3.2.X version (3.2.29)?

Have you tried looking here:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

Be sure not to remove your older kernels until you are sure that the new kernel is working for you.

If using the mainline kernels, install in this order using command: sudo dpkg -i

headers all
headers generic
image
image-extra (Kernel 3.5 and up)

Works for me.

Thanks for the guidance guys! I really appreciate it.

Save the kernel debs to their own folder, something like ~/Downloads/kernel and then open terminal:

cd ~/Downloads/kernel
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Will install all the deb files automatically in the correct order for you.

Just pick up:

headers all
headers generic (i386 or amd64 depending on whether you use 32bit or 64bit)
image (i386 or amd64 depending on whether you use 32bit or 64bit)
image-extra (i386 or amd64 depending on whether you use 32bit or 64bit)
