Install new kernel linux

How to install newer versions of the Linux kernel?

This can break your system. The NVIDIA and ATI/AMD drivers and the broadcom wireless will most likely not work on this yet.

I would advise against it but if things get messed up you should be able to fix it by booting an old kernel and removing this one. Something like this .

Boot from CD mount -o bind /dev /dev mount -o bind /proc /proc chroot apt-get install update-grub

From comment by Tomas an easier method:

• By entering GRUB through holding shift during boot you can enter the «Previous versions» of Linux. There you can select your old kernel, which is by default not removed.

Download the three .DEB files with the name starting with linux from here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.4-precise/

Example for i386 (take the 2 with amd64 in the name for 64-bit and pae in the name for i386 with 4+Gb memory; check uname -a if you are unsure!):

linux-headers-3.4.0-030400_3.4.0-030400.201205210521_all.deb linux-image-3.4.0-030400-generic_3.4.0-030400.201205210521_i386.deb linux-headers-3.4.0-030400-generic_3.4.0-030400.201205210521_i386.deb 

sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-3.4.0-030400_3.4.0-030400.201205210521_all.deb sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-3.4.0-030400-generic_3.4.0-030400.201205210521_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i linux-image-3.4.0-030400-generic_3.4.0-030400.201205210521_i386.deb 

This should show a kernel with 3.4 in the name.

• «This release includes several Btrfs updates: metadata blocks bigger than 4KB,
• much better metadata performance,
• better error handling and
• better recovery tools.
• a new X32 ABI which allows to run in 64 bit mode with 32 bit pointers;
• several updates to the GPU drivers: early modesetting of Nvidia Geforce 600 ‘Kepler’, support of AMD RadeonHD 7xxx and AMD Trinity APU series, and support of Intel Medfield graphics;
• support of x86 cpu driver autoprobing, a device-mapper target that stores cryptographic hashes of blocks to check for intrusions, another target to use external read-only devices as origin source of a thin provisioned LVM volume,
• several perf improvements such as GTK2 report GUI and
• a new ‘Yama’ security module.»
• You can help test official 3.4 support in 12.04 by following these instructions: http://www.theorangenotebook.com/2012/06/call-for-testing-1210-kernel-on-1204.html

In summary, the latest kernel ships with the following improvements and features:

• AMD RDNA2 Graphics card initial support.
• New “NTFS3” driver.
• temperature monitoring support for AMD Zen 3 based APUs.
• Improved Apple M1 IOMMU driver
• New Wifi driver support
• In-kernel SMB file server

This guide will show you how to install Linux kernel 5.15 on Ubuntu 20.04

Step 1: Update your system

As you get started, its crucial to, first of all , update the package lists as follows.

Step 2: Download Linux Kernel Headers

One of the prerequisites in installing a new kernel is the linux kernel headers and kernel images. This is vital so as to enable the smooth installation of the kernel

Therefore, the next step is to download linux kernel headers as follows. You can switch to a different directory in which you will download all the files such as the /tmp/ directory.

Thereafter, run the wget -c command to download the kernel jeaders Debian package.

$ wget -c https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.15-rc7/amd64/linux-headers-5.15.0-051500rc7_5.15.0-051500rc7.202110251930_all.deb

Once that is done, proceed and download the generic headers Debian file as follows:

$ wget -c https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.15-rc7/amd64/linux-headers-5.15.0-051500rc7-generic_5.15.0-051500rc7.202110251930_amd64.deb

Next, download Linux Kernel Images.

$ wget -c https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.15-rc7/amd64/linux-image-unsigned-5.15.0-051500rc7-generic_5.15.0-051500rc7.202110251930_amd64.deb

And finally, download linux modules needed to build the Linux kernel with the following command:

$ wget -c https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.15-rc7/amd64/linux-modules-5.15.0-051500rc7-generic_5.15.0-051500rc7.202110251930_amd64.deb

Step 3: Install Linux Kernel

With kernel images and headers already downloaded, install kernel 5.15 with the following command:

After that is done, restart your system for the new kernel to take effect

Confirm that the installation was successful with the command:

You have successfully upgraded your Linux kernel.
