If you want to run the new kernel you have just installed, you should
reboot. But if you still get the old kernel after the reboot, you
probably have modified the grub configuration. For your ancient version
it is in "/boot/grub/menu.lst". Anyway, I hope you know that version
9.04 is no longer supported [1].

Well, I modified the kernel grub through update-grub.
Anyhow, my major concern is that My ubuntu kernel 9.0.4 gives me a message that it does not support ipsec.
How can I put ipsec support into my this kernel?


Which package should be installed or any code to be compiled into kernel? how?

Regards,
Hammad

If you want to run the new kernel you have just installed, you should

That's how it should work. However maybe you have set a kernel as
default which is not the latest one in "/boot/grub/menu.lst". Please
check that file to make sure it would run the new kernel, not the old
one. As an alternative you could manually select the new kernel at boot
time from the grub menu [1].

According to [2] you need the package ipsec-tools. However that package
seems not to be available for Jaunty. Therefore I don't know if the new
kernel would support ipsec. Maybe it is really time to upgrade your
machine to a newer Ubuntu version.
