Linux Kernel 2.6.38 installation guide for Ubuntu Linux

Aside

33

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 LTS, 10.10, 11.04) 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 the kernel headers package;

    linux-headers-2.6.38-020638_2.6.38-020638.201103151303_all.deb
  2. And the appropriate package for your system

    I386: linux-headers-2.6.38-020638-generic_2.6.38-020638.201103151303_i386.deb

    AMD64: linux-headers-2.6.38-020638-generic_2.6.38-020638.201103151303_amd64.deb
  3. And the accompanying compiled kernel;

    I386: linux-image-2.6.38-020638-generic_2.6.38-020638.201103151303_i386.deb

    AMD64: linux-image-2.6.38-020638-generic_2.6.38-020638.201103151303_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 of course errors)

This guide is for almost every Linux distribution.

Prerequisite is that you have the required build tools installed already.

If not, do the following step:

Debian and Ubuntu users way;

sudo apt-get install build-essential

The Fedora/Red Hat way:

sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools" "Legacy Software Development"

First step is getting the source package

wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-4.2.tar.gz

Next step is compiling and installing it;

tar xf bash-4.2.tar.gz
cd bash-4.2
./configure
