i need to install the newer kernel version for ibex 8.10....

it is kernel version 2.6.27-9, but i don't know how to update kernel manually should i just download the 2.6.27.9.tar.gz??? and just follow the install?? or should i not do that because it isn't the right kernel and might break my os???

it won't reshow up in update manager so i cannot use that utility to update...

Here is what I am using on my Intrepid right now.



Linux linux 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 21:57:00 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

Installed/upgraded it through apt-get.

Can you post your /etc/apt/sources.list?

Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

Not a good idea to include two repos for Hardy in Intrepid release.



deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/awn-testing/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/awn-testing/ubuntu hardy main

So, edit /etc/apt/sources.list


gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
and place a # in front of the last two lines to comment them out or replace the word hardy with intrepid (if it is even existed). Save it and run


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

okay those hardy repos are for my avn toolbar i use...but i commented them out just incase...

i then apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and all i did was install some new upgrades....no kernel

i have downloaded the kernel tar for ubuntu 8.10 2.6.27-9 and i am probably going to read throught the readme and install it...manually it seems really long and complex

can i just run a command to target the extracted kernel tar and patch the old one???
