I am running 11.04. The latest kernel is corrupted so that the os will not start. I have gone back to an earlier kernel on start-up. What should I do next to stabilise the installation and to bring the kernel up to date?
I have just noticed a large number of software updates ( 258 ) . I assume I should go ahead and install them. Will that bring everything up to date. I have just gone through the list and found a complete generic linux kernel 2.638.13.28 in the list.

Yes, that should work fine. Try it, and let me know if it goes South

Install all the update and see if that corrects you problem. If it doesn't post back.

I am still no further.
I can get into ubuntu with kernal ending .10. The later kernels including the current fail to load to login. I think it is something to do with the nvidia setup. It started after I tried to return to the ubuntu nvidia drivers.
What is the way to return to return to Nouveau?
I even considered a clean install, using the Lubuntu 11.10 but it will not go into graphics mode on the live disk. The MD5 is correct.

Very pleased to report that I have it working at last. I reinstalled the nvidia driver and now I can log into the normal mode of the system!
