Kernel downgrade version

Post by Thorium »

Hi,

I am running Mint-Mate 16 with kernel 3.11.0-12-generic.
Is it possible to downgrade the kernel without breaking something?
What version is the older kernel I can use?

Is it possible to upgrade to version 3.13.1-trusty without breaking something?

If you have a good link to an how-to this could be very helpfull.

Many thanks

Yes it is possible. This computer works properly only with 2.6.38-8 kernel (Mint 13 Mate + Fujitsu Amilo La1703 :lol: ). Just install a kernel using GDebi.

I did a test with 3.11.0-15 installed with synaptic then another test 3.9.0-030900 installed with this how-to (edit: and GDebi, I didn't know the name)

Installs was good but the both new kernel didn't solve my issue with alsamixer;

I'll try earlier version.
