I need to use Linux 3, becasue with Linux 2.6.x has display problems with my SandyBridge integrated graphic. On the other hand, I need to downgrade to Ubuntu 10.04/10 because Betavine packages for running my mobile broadband modem work only with Ubuntu 10.04 (and 10.10). Hence I need to make a compromise. I appreciate your hints.

Sandy bridge works OK on the natty kernel - if you start from 10.04 - you can use this answer here to upgrade graphics and the kernel to work with your sandybridge laptop. askubuntu.com/questions/58376/…– fossfreedom ♦Oct 24, 2011 at 19:49

1FYI, the difference from 2.6.x to 3.0.0 is nothing. It was just a version bump from Linus =P– Chuck RFeb 20, 2012 at 16:23

Or, as a last-ditch effort you could compile a new kernel from kernel.org and use that.
To get an ubuntu-styled kernel:
apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)
cd linux-image-$(uname -r)
make menuconfig #Then hit exit and save the configuration
cd ..
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/linux-3.2.6.tar.bz2
tar -xjf linux-3.2.6.tar.bz2
cd linux-3.2.6
make menuconfig
cp ../linux-image-$(uname -r)/.config .
rm -R ../linux-image-$(uname -r)*
make
make install
Maybe. There is an Ubuntu kernel PPA: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive/ppa
You can try download the Linux kernel 3 for Oneiric, maybe it will work. http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

you can't use a oneiric kernel for a Ubuntu versions that's not Oneiric!– AlvarFeb 20, 2012 at 16:19
