OK. I've done those steps. The only error I had following the instructions is that I don't have a boot menu, and I can't figure out how to get one. I installed startup manager, and put in a longer pause, but that didn't help.
I did the command (can't remember which) to show which kernel I'm running, and it said 3.2. So I think the steps went through fine. I will let you know if the error with being unable to boot up comes up again. regards, Frank On 17 November 2011 16:59, Frank Colcord <fr...@colcord.net> wrote: > So, I should follow the instructions in: > > start quote > > Installing Mainline KernelsTo use the mainline kernel as-is you only > only need to download and install the *image*.deb package that > corresponds to your architecture, however if you need to build any > external modules you also need the correct *header*.deb and > *source*.deb packages. > To install, download the common headers, architecture specific > headers, and the architecture specific image.
