Currently we recommend to not update the kernel through smxi.

First the script must be adapted to the new way as the kernels are now delivered ( kernels are now installable per apt-get)

If you want to update your kernel, please use apt-get

edit: as of now, kernel updates are disabled in smxi until H2 finds time to adjust it.

edit: since yesterday smxi has been fixed for the new kernels

These are the commands needed after you have done

apt-get update


1. get the last version kernel
wget -O - http://sidux.com/debian/pool/main/l/linux-2.6-sidux 2>/dev/null | awk "/linux-image.*slh.*$(dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU)/" | sed -e 's/^.*linux\-image\-//' -e's/_.*\.deb.*$//'

we have currently:
on i386 : 2.6.24-2.6.24.2.slh.7-sidux-686
on amd64: 2.6.24-2.6.24.2.slh.7-sidux-amd64


2. find which modules you need. Following command gives you the list of current available modules for

apt-cache search 2.6.24-2.6.24.2.slh.7-sidux| awk '/modules/{print $1}'



3. installing the kernel + needed modules ( here for instance virtual-ose and qc-usb)

apt-get install linux-image-2.6-sidux-686 linux-headers-2.6-sidux-686 virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-2.6.24.2.slh.7-sidux-686 qc-usb-modules-2.6.24-2.6.24.2.slh.7-sidux-686



4. After a reboot the new kernel is active.
