If you'll be very specific about what you're trying to do, why you're trying to do it, and what you've done so far, "of course."

Why do you conclude that a kernel upgrade is necessary to resolve the problem? Can you cite the URL of a particular source you have referenced?

Also, how familiar are you now with the kernel upgrade process?

All of this information will assist us in helping you best.

Go to http://www.kernel.org
Download the version (the latest is 2.6.15+)
Decompress it.
1) Type make xconfig
Chosse the option to compile your kernel and save it.
2) Make bzImage
This will make the linux kernel, which will be loaded while booting.
3) Make modules
4) Make moudules-install
5) Make install.

The trick will be the make xconfig (menuconfig, etc..) step, and the selection of options chosen may have a lot more to do with "this problem," whatever it is, than the kernel version. Really depends upon the problem, whether there's a recently-closed bug report specifying this version as being a fix, and so on. Hope we hear more follow-up on this one.
