I don't understand what you are asking here. Do you want to upgrade to the last vanilla kernel or just to the last distribution kernel?. – Javier Rivera Apr 28 '12 at 10:21
I have not more info about this but it may be distribution kernel – Ghost Answer Apr 28 '12 at 10:24
Can you give us some context?. To wich kernel do you want to update to?. Why?. Your kernel should be updated the same way that the rest of the system. – Javier Rivera Apr 28 '12 at 10:28

If you are trying to upgrade the kernal of Ubuntu 11.10 which is in my system linux-image 3.0.0.17 to linux-image 3.2.x.x then I think 3.2.x.x is not available for Ubuntu 11.10.

If you want to do that forcefully then here what you can do: 

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:francisbrwn9/kernels
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
