Currently Feisty Fawn users (7.04) using the generic kernel (which is
2.6.20-16-generic). This tutorial will explain howto upgrade you to
kernel version 2.6.22-9-generic(as of 31JUL07).
First you need to add the Gutsy repository (this is only temporary to pull the new kernel)
echo ‘deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted’ | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
Update the source list using the following command
sudo apt-get update
you need to install the new kernel using the following command
sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-2.6.22-9-generic
linux-headers-2.6.22-9 linux-headers-2.6.22-9-generic
linux-image-2.6.22-9-generic linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-9-generic
linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-9-generic
Now you should remove the Gutsy repository from your sources.list
sudo vi gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
