My suggestion would be (given the uname -a info you supplied showed you were running a PAE kernel): 1) First become root with: sudo -i 2) Then download the current stable mainline kernel release: wget -c http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.2.6-precise/linux-image-3.2.6-030206-generic- pae_3.2.6-030206.201202131435_i386.deb 3) Install the deb package you just downloaded with: dpkg -i ./linux-image-3.2.6-030206-generic-pae_3.2.6-030206.201202131435_i386.deb Then you should be able to reboot into it. If you want to get rid of it you reboot and pick the latest 3.0 kernel that grub offers you and then: sudo -i apt-get remove --purge linux-image-3.2.6-030206-generic-pae Hope this helps! cheers, Chris -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC This email may come with a PGP signature as a file.
