    how to install kernel 3.4/3.5 and fglrx drivers 13.1 on ubuntu 12.04.02

    I have tried to upgrade from kernel 3.2.0-39 to kernel 3.4 (here) and after that installing fglrx drivers 13.1 (compatible up to kernel 3.5).
    Here are the steps I followed:

    1. Removing (purging) existing drivers
      Code:
      sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev*

    rebooted

    1. updated open drivers.
      Code:
      sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates

    Code:
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
    rebooted

    1. installed some dependencies and then tried to install fglrx drivers:
      Code:
      sudo sh amd-driver-installer-*.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/precise  sudo dpkg -i *.deb

    At this point the installation stuck at:
    Code:
    update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.4.0-0304-generic
    nothing happens and I have to stop installation and I need to use dpkg-reconfigure -a.
    Can you tell me how install kernel and fglrx drivers in the correct way? Do I need to know anything else to do that?
    Thanks

    I found this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/25761...el-to-3-5-0-23
    Is it maybe a solution for my problem in order to upgrade to newer kernel (3.5)?
    I mean: maybe those are the steps I have to follow to upgrade without any block during installation, what do you think?
    Do I need to remove fglrx before following those steps to upgrade to 3.5 or not?
