Chances are you will break you system. That said, I use kernel 3.2.4-030204-generic-pae on Natty but had to tweak some in order to get it there. – Ringtail Mar 3 '12 at 21:42

What does that mean? Is that a question or a statement? – Ringtail Mar 4 '12 at 4:18
I'm sorry if I wrote it, I write with the help of google translator, is a question, that I was curious about the kernel 3.2 in natty – Angel Mauricio Mar 4 '12 at 15:24

You can still upgrade to 11.10 or whatever one u want and install an old kernel image. Old images can be found here. Just look for the version you are using then install it.

Note, you should download a total of 3 packages in each case. Then from terminal run: 

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

I don't think it is possible to update all the system without updating the Kernel because of the dependecies... but it this can help, The 3.x kernel series only appear in the Ubuntu 12.04 not in the 11.10.

Hope this helped ^_^

Ubuntu 11.10 uses the kernel 3.0, that's my problem – Angel Mauricio Mar 3 '12 at 21:57
