10.10 - How can I use a 2.6.36 kernel in Maverick?



When I was using Lucid I noticed they had a backport ppa for kernels but they don't have one for Maverick. I am currently using Maverick in Generic-PAE mode and was wondering what is the easiest way to upgrade the kernel to 2.6.36 with generic-pae?



The backports kernels are only officially available for the previous LTS release; currently this is Lucid (10.04 LTS). Maverick (10.10) is not an LTS and therefore will not receive backported kernels.




Backports of the as yet unreleased development release are built and made available in the kernel team PPA to allow testing. Again these are made available for Lucid (10.04 LTS) only. It is expected that people on a non-LTS release will be able to update to the next release once it is finalised and released formally.
