I am having a problem with how the kernel talks to my machine. I have outlined the issue here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2314666
The workaround for this issue is to hold the kernel at version 3.0.19.25.
My understanding is that the kernel is the main conduit between the OS and hardware. Upgrades aim to improve performance and plug security issues. Holding a kernel at a particular version is likely to put your computer at risk the longer you don't upgrade.
Is my understanding correct? Should I be concerned?
