Upgrading Linux Mint/Ubuntu to Linux Kernel 3.9.1

Today I decided to upgrade the kernel on a Linux Mint VM to kernel 3.9.1. I'm happy upgrading packages and distributions, but this was my first attempt at a kernel upgrade.

These are the commands I ran:

mkdir kernel v3.9.1-saucy && cd kernel v3.9.1-saucy

wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9.1-saucy/linux-headers-3.9.1-030901-generic_3.9.1-030901.201305080210_amd64.deb

wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9.1-saucy/linux-headers-3.9.1-030901_3.9.1-030901.201305080210_all.deb

wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9.1-saucy/linux-image-3.9.1-030901-generic_3.9.1-030901.201305080210_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i linux-*.deb

sudo update-grub
