Hi

I've also tested this build of the kernel and I can confirm it is working.
------
$ uname -a 
Linux XPS-L322X 3.8.0-18-generic #28+lp1169376 SMP Fri Apr 19 00:33:04 UTC 2013 
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

answer on Adrian's question
search for the installed kernels:

$ dpkg --get-selections | grep linux
libselinux1:amd64                               install
libselinux1:i386                                install
linux-firmware                                  install
linux-generic                                   install
linux-headers-3.8.0-19                          install
linux-headers-3.8.0-19-generic                  install
linux-headers-generic                           install
linux-image-3.8.0-18-generic                    install
linux-image-3.8.0-19-generic                    install
linux-image-extra-3.8.0-18-generic              install
linux-image-extra-3.8.0-19-generic              install
linux-image-generic                             install
linux-libc-dev:amd64                            install
linux-sound-base                                install
pptp-linux                                      install
syslinux                                        install
syslinux-common                                 install
syslinux-legacy                                 install
util-linux                                      install

now you see the installed kernels.
In the case you would remove the 3.8.0-18 kernel the following command will do 
it

$ dpkg --get-selections | grep linux
libselinux1:amd64                               install
libselinux1:i386                                install
linux-firmware                                  install
linux-generic                                   install
linux-headers-3.8.0-19                          install
linux-headers-3.8.0-19-generic                  install
linux-headers-generic                           install
linux-image-3.8.0-18-generic                    install
linux-image-3.8.0-19-generic                    install
linux-image-extra-3.8.0-18-generic              install
linux-image-extra-3.8.0-19-generic              install
linux-image-generic                             install
linux-libc-dev:amd64                            install
linux-sound-base                                install
pptp-linux                                      install
syslinux                                        install
syslinux-common                                 install
syslinux-legacy                                 install
util-linux                                      install

in the case you would like to remove the 3.8.0-18 version the following command 
will do it:
$ sudo dpkg --purge linux-image-3.8.0-18-generic 
linux-image-extra-3.8.0-18-generic
