upgrading to kernel 2.6.11-ubuntu64


Hi, well im using Ubuntu Hoary 5.04 on my AMD64 laptop, im trying to install the lastest Nvidia driver on it, but as the nvidia installer says, i need kernel 2.6.11 or newer, so i went to synaptic to see if i can get it, but there isnt available, i was looking information in internet of how to upgrade my kernel, cant really find something purely helping and useful, so where can i have something like a "how to" upgrade my kernel, to 2.6.11 .... some steps..

You need to install linux-2.6.11 (or more precisely linux-image 2.6.11), the corresponding headers and kernel source via apt/synaptic. I am not sure if the install removes the old kernel coz I usually remove mine at the same time that a new kernel is being installed (I would not recommend this coz if there is a problem with the kernel, it may not boot the system).

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
