I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 with Windows 7 via Wubi.
Until yesterday, my kernel was 2.6.32-29.
Yesterday, I was offered 2.6.32-30 by the update manager and accepted it.
However, I can't boot up using that kernel. I get no video. (I'm now choosing -29 at bootup instead of -30. It still works.)
What should I be trying in order to get -30 to work?
The server runs# uname -r2.6.18-128.4.1.el5However, today I executed yum update kernel*due to security advisory. I was just about to reboot the system when I realized that it runs VMWare Server Instance that will most likely fail to restart after kernel upgrade (I had a hard time fixing it after previous kernel update). Now I want to keep 2.6.18-128.4.1.el5 after reboot.I see that new kernel is scheduled for booting:
# cat /etc/grub.conf
default=0
timeout=20
[code]....
If i use yum update option it upgrades to latest kernel but i only want to upgrade to kernel-2.6.31.6.

After a lot of googling and the artical in linux.com/archive/articles/119287 :: Got more than a gig of RAM and 32-bit Linux? Here's how to use it i came to know the solution i.e
1)I need to install the Bigmem-kernel to detect the ram more than 4Gb,
2) or change some kernel parameters in configuration file and rebuild the kernel
Is there any another solution for this to update operating system to detect the more RAM

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe new kernel has some features I think would be useful for me, especially the power management of ATI gaphics cores (I run crossfire 2870).
how I upgrade the kernel? I just wanted to check that I am doing the right thing. I had intended updating with apt-get using the age old instructions.
I added the PPA: 'deb [URL]... ' and this seems to work in getting me the most recent kernel, however I must check it occasionally, and install it manually, with 'sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.35-14-generic linux-headers-2.6.35-14-generic' (which is the most recent in that PPA). So basically, every time there is a kernel update in there, such as 'linux-image-2.6.35-15-generic' or something, I must 'sudo apt-get install' it manually. Anybody know how to have it automatically install the latest kernel? Is that even possible?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm running 10.10 with an NVIDIA card which has a customised xconfig file (to allow use of an EDID file). This was working OK until I ran a set of security updates which included a kernel upgrade. Now when I try to boot the machine, it goes straight to terminal mode and will not run the GUI.
I recall seeing something about this before, but can't find the thread. It's a fairly simple fix to get the graphics running again, but I can't remember what the solution is.
explain in simple terms how to safely upgrade to the new kernel (2.6.37)?

I am writing this using the 2.6.31-17 generic kernel after rebooting and selecting NOT to use the 2.6.31-18 kernel which was just installed. The newer kernel would not recognize/activate my Atheros AR2418 wireless adapter and, when I connected to the ethernet and did updates, there were no hardware drivers available. I haven't needed proprietary drivers since I upgraded to 9.04 and 9.10 works fine with older kernel.

I'm running the 64 bit version of Ubuntu 9.10 on an AMD64 dual core platform with all the most recent upgrades installed. After the most recent Kernel upgrade version 2.6.31.20 the computer failed to boot correctly. Extremely slow getting to the desktop and a general failure to preload any programs that I load on boot. I had to uninstall and revert back to the previous Linux headers which solved the problem. If it makes any difference I have the machine setup as an apache2 server along with my standard desktop environment.

Where do I look for guidance on such a kernel upgrade? My impression is that grub permits booting to an earlier kernel so a boo is recoverable. While not particularly relevant, my card is a Chronos Video Shuttle II.
I performed an upgrade via the Update Manager from 9.10 to 10.04 LTS and it seemed to go flawlessly. However, now I cannot seem to be able to remove the old Kernel from 9.10 in the package manager. It does not even show 2.6.32-21 as installed but it still shows the old Kernel in Grub. I did a sudo update-grub but it was to no avail.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThats it in a nutshell. and I don't mean the boot splash graphics, I mean desktop graphics! As in upon boot ubuntu goes in "low-graphics" mode. I have had this issue all the time with Lucid and never really found a good fix. With Karmic this was never an issue.As a final fix I tried to reinstall lucid and updated the live CD doing that too. First it worked fine, but after kernel update I downloaded yesterday (with update manager) I have had this "low graphics" issue again.
With Graphics card, I have nVidia GeForce 220 GT. The drivers are up to date, active, and in use. (according to the "hardware drivers" tool.

i'm running a fresh install of 10.10 with a casper-rw partition off a usb drive.
I updated ubuntu and installed the latest linux kernel. I rebooted back into ubuntu, then finished up some work and went to reboot into windows 7. The "starting windows" logo comes up then it blue screens and says "cannot boot %hs missing" (hard to read because it flashed on the screen then reboots).I ran startup recovery but that didnt do anything. I also tried downgrading the kernel but that didnt change anything.

I wonder if others have upgraded their Lucid kernel using the deb [URL]..repository. I have been using the repository for some time now without any apparent problems, and have gone from 2.6.36-1, through 2.6.37-10, and am now on 2.6.37-12.
All of these seem to work with no problems at all, but I am just wondering if other users can also report success, or if there are any trip-ups that might occur. I still keep updating the "standard" kernel from the main repos, ie 2.6.32-27, so I have that as a backup, but I'm just very curious about other people's findings.
I am running Ubuntu 10.10 on a Lenovo T60 and am having problems waking up from sleep every time I update the kernel.
I just got the upgrade from 2.6.35.25 to 2.6.35.27.
The problem I see now is that I get this message when coming back from sleep (I coped it down since after the message I couldn't do anything else):
pciehp 0000:00:1c.0 pcie04: Device 0000:02:00 already exists, cannot hot-add
pciehp 0000:00:1c.0 pcie04: Cannot add device at 0000:02:00

I read recently about security flaws in the ubuntu kernel, and when I checked my kernel, it is 2.6.32-29-generic. I looked in synaptic, and I have the linux-generic meta-package - which should ensure upgrade to the latest kernel, and yet this is not being updated when I run update manager. There is a linux-image-2.6.35-25-generic, but the advice is not to install this directly (to avoid breaking dependencies, etc.), but to install the meta-package instead. Yet, the meta-package doesn't seem to be doing what is should do.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen booting to kernel 2.6.38-10 I get an error about it not being able to load the nvidia drivers/kernel module. 2.6.38-8 works fine. Actually I do not even get the error unless I run 'startx' but instead have to hunt through the logs for it.
I do not even get the usual low resolution mode, just the text terminal so this is an serious issue especially since grub no longer prompts at startup for alternate boot options. Probably the worst change in Ubuntu since it makes it much harder to recover from something like this.
I think it might be due to the GTX 460 card I have, I noticed other people have had the same issue in the past with this card.
Nvidia drivers installed from the kubuntu repository version 4.1.0 NVIDIA 270.41.06.
How do I fix the drivers, or alternately what is the change in the grub menu to change the defaulted booted kernel?
It seems that i am stuck using the 2.6.38-9 kernel, since no matter what i try, i can't update. I have had this problem since 2.6.38-10, but figured that the problem probably would solve itself after the next kernel update, sadly that was not the case.
I have had some worrying error-massages from dpkg about broken packages, which i believe might be the source of this problem, as it reported that the package "linux-image-generic" was broken. I removed the postinstall script from /var/lib/dpkg/info and updated both dpkg and aptitude.
I am not getting any more error messages, and if i look in the synaptic package manager, i can see that kernel 2.6.38-11 is indeed installed, yet i can't select it at bootup, even though i have tried to manually update grub.
