As mentioned in a previous reply, I have only the kernel headers for
this new kernel. No generic kernel or modules for it. I also have two
Karmic partitions and just safe-upgraded and dist-upgraded both Karmic
partitions yet no -16 kernel or modules on either. One partition uses
the archives.ubuntu.com mirror and the other uses the 76.73.4.58 karmic
mirror. Anyone have any idea why only the header files are available on
two different mirror but not the kernel or modules. I usually just use
safe-upgrade and so far have gotten the -15 and all previous kernel,
modules, etc starting with the beta Karmic install. Appreciate any
help/suggestions as this is driving me crazy hoping the newa kernel will
solve some of m X window issue.
Thanks for any help/suggestions.
Via Synaptic set your repository for "Main server" and try to update
(just standard Reload) and then System|Administration|Update...). I had
an issue on one machine (32bit of course) where the -16 didn't get
properly upgraded. The history shows:

linux-image-2.6.31-16-generic (2.6.31-16.52)
Whereas a system that properly upgraded to -16 shows:

linux-image-2.6.31-16-generic (2.6.31-16.52)
Even taking out the -386, I should have gotten:
Upgraded the following packages:

linux-image-2.6.31-16-generic (2.6.31-16.52)
so linux-generic (2.6.31.15.28) to 2.6.31.16.29 didn't get upgraded.
I ended up having to reinstall the -16's.
Ok, did the synaptic bit and update manager bit. Neither one showed any
new packages
or upgrades to install. Also, aptitude search shows I have everthing
installed and have
rebooted a couple of times. No issues except, of course, the Karmic low
res issue. I still
get the start up message but accept the startup in low res mode just
this one time and
wait a bit and up comes the kdm login screen. I sure wish Ubuntu or
Nvidia or Hal or
dkms would fix this issue. -
