How to install kernel 2.6.28?

[mikhmv]

Hi,
How can I find latest version of intrepid kernel?
and How can I install it by apt-get?

Thanks

System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager -> Quick Search and type in linux-kernel. It would show you all the kernels that are available from the repos.

How can i add intrepid kernel repository?

What kernel repo?

If you want to add a repo to your machine, you need to add it to the end of /etc/apt/sources.list. However, adding a third party repo that you are not sure about could cause trouble for your machine so better be real careful with that.

Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Intrepid uses 2.26.27 and always will. It will never upgrade to 2.26.28 through Synaptic or Update Manager, unless (as taurus pointed out) you add some sort of third-party repo to your sources, which you should be very careful doing. :)

Can I ask why you need 2.6.28? Maybe there is a different way to accomplish that which you seek, without installing an unsupported kernel...

I want to install 2.6.28 because my wifi card (intell 5350) doesn't work under 2.6.27.

You can download it from the ubuntu package archives for jaunty, and then install using dpkg. However, it might complain of dependencies. If you really must, I suggest upgrade to jaunty.

The kernel package name is linux-image-2.6.xx-x-generic not linux-kernel.

Don't forget I warned you of breakage. Have fun.
