Linux Kernel 2.6.35 installation guide for Ubuntu Linux

Posted on by

This short walkthrough describes how to get the latest linux kernel working under Ubuntu Linux without having to compile it yourself.

This tutorial should work with the latest version of Ubuntu Linux (10.04 and 10.10 ) and most distributions based on these versions of Ubuntu Linux like Mint.

The included kernel files have been compiled using the generic ubuntu configuration.
Note: nVIDIA ForceWare drivers are automatically installed using DKMS, if you have these installed and up-to-date.

Installation Guide

  1. Download linux-headers-2.6.35-020635_2.6.35-020635_all.deb
  2. Download your kernel headers package;

    I386: linux-headers-2.6.35-020635-generic_2.6.35-020635_i386.deb

    AMD64: linux-headers-2.6.35-020635-generic_2.6.35-020635_amd64.deb
  3. Download your kernel compile;

    I386: linux-image-2.6.35-020635-generic_2.6.35-020635_i386.deb

    AMD64: linux-image-2.6.35-020635-generic_2.6.35-020635_amd64.deb
  4. Install the files in the same order (else it won`t work!)
  5. In the terminal run:

    sudo update-grub
  6. Reboot and select the kernel from the bootloader menu

    If it`s not there check all steps (and ofcourse errors)

For those who want to do their “own” compiles, the source is also available; linux-source-2.6.35_2.6.35-020635_all.deb

    • If you use a different order than I recommended you`ll surely get some errors. I don`t say it won`t work but I can`t guarantee it.

  3. Hi,

    Your source package:
    http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.35-maverick/linux-source-2.6.35_2.6.35-020635_all.deb

    Seems to be empty:
    proppy@unubore:~/Desktop/sc2$ dpkg -c linux-source-2.6.35_2.6.35-020635_all.deb
    drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2010-08-02 11:07 ./
