You've slightly lost me - when is a new kernel a new kernel and when is it an update? I have: Linux 3.16-0.bpo.3-amd64 and Linux 3.16-0.bpo.4-amd64 I would have said that the second was an update of the first, and not a new kernel, but I am open to correction. I had others but I have purged them. I have other kernels, but only those two 3.16-0.bpo.x Lisi
