Up, leg cramps, the wet ram ain't the only thing old. Anyway did that, copied the vmlinix to /boot/vmlinuz-3.8.2+, update-grub, reboot, selected it, got invalid magic numbers. So I'm back on 3.12.6. But when I went to make sure that 3.8.2 worked, my script had screwed that up thinking it was building a real, from tarball 3.8.2. But I have that tree untouched so it will re-install. Which I will start and go back to bed.
