This might be daft question but how do you get back to the last kernel if the new one causes trouble? I'm thinking this info might prove handy one day.
Bev.
Older versions of Ubuntu showed you a menu at boot time. Newer versions (using Grub 2 or later I think) you have to press a key at the right moment during the boot cycle and it brings up a menu. Not sure which key. Could be Escape, shift, control, or possibly F8. Pressing the wrong key too early though might get you into your BIOS setup menu, which you probably don't want.
Have a google "How to bring up grub boot menu" or something like that.
Haven't got time to do it myself ATM.

That'll do, Steve. Gives me enough to work with.
Bev.
I've had a quick google and shift seems to be the magic key.
