Linux Kernel 3.2 installation guide for Ubuntu Linux

Posted on by

This short walkthrough describes how to get the latest linux kernel version 3.2.0 working under Ubuntu Linux without having to compile it yourself.

This tutorial should work with the latest version of Ubuntu Linux (10.04 LTS, 11.04 and 11.10) and most distributions based on these versions of Ubuntu Linux including Mint.

The included kernel files have been compiled using the generic ubuntu configuration.

Note: ATI, Intel and NVIDIA drivers are automatically installed using DKMS, if you have these installed and up-to-date.

Installation Guide

  1. Download the kernel headers package;

    linux-headers-3.2.0-030200_3.2.0-030200.201201042035_all.deb
  2. And the appropriate package for your system
  3. And the accompanying compiled kernel;
  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 of course for errors)

The source can be found on www.kernel.org

  26. I use kernel 3.8 for my eeepc 1015XC, using xubuntu. But my network connection down on every 5 minutes, using LAN cable. I try kernel 3.2, because my crunchbang (I use dualboot) using that kernel, but doesn’t work on xubuntu, only appear blank screen. Do you have kernel that recommended for my netbook?
