Kernal error

[Yizi]

Hi,

I have just installed Ubuntu on my Netbook (Samsung NC10), after the installation when i booted it up it came up with.


error: You need to load the kernal first.
Press any key to continue...

Try reinstalling it. That normally happens after messing around with the Ubuntu partition, or after a failed installation. Trust me, it happened to me three times.

I have done it 3 times now, should i do more?

Try download a new kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
and install

which one do i choose? is there any tutorial on how to install it?

[j2bv16]

well, download the lastest ( sorry my english ) 2.6.31.6 is in deb format, download it for your procesot i386 o amd64 ( uname -a in a terminal )

OK i downlaoded it and i did the uname -a it came back with 2.6.31-14-generic.
I put the file in the memory stick and booted into live CD enviroment and tried to install the debian kernal i downloaded but it said:

Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: linux-headers-2.6.32-020632rc8
