Download the latest kernel https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/ker...3.9-rc7.tar.xz Code: tar xvzJf linux-3.9-rc7.tar.xz cd linux-3.9-rc7 make menuconfig ##--select what options you need available in the kernel, I don't know your hardware so can't help--## make && make modules_install cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-3.9-rc7 grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg mkinitcpio -p linux ^.this will make sure that grub will make an entry for 3.9. Than I generally just run an update after reboot and it's good to go, I personally find the 3.9-raring.deb kernels buggy... so I compile them myself. I'm probably missing ubuntu specific things, but everyone that uses linux should at least know how to download and compile a kernel(or at least learn how to). It's pretty easy, just make sure you know your hardware! Your compiled kernels will run a lot better than the generic kernels for very obvious reasons, your only selecting what you need, the binaries probably have EVERYTHING ticked. The way I do things is the way I've always done with linux from scratch or gentoo, I prefer source based distros to binary but I prefer apt-get to pacman (prefer arch being more vanilla but like some stability) so I generally compile a custom kernel and I generally only do it once a new stable kernel is released. http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu_p1 Very old but it's debian/ubuntu specific for compiling a kernel.

Various different recipes off the ubuntu wiki. Some using upstream git/source, and some using ubuntu modified sources. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel

is there a way to get virtualbox to work on the 3.9 kernel?

linux-headers rather than linux-source are sufficient to compile guest/host drivers and kernel modules.
