I am trying to upgrade my Ubuntu 12.04 to Linux Kernel 3.6.9 as described here. This is what I get in console:

andres@andres-nt:/tmp$ sudo sh linux-kernel-3.6.9

    ########### This bash script is created by UpUbuntu.com ###########


    ########### Kernel 3.6.9 will be installed in an x86_64 system ###########

Press Enter to continue, or abort by pressing CTRL+C

I have an HP g4-1387la with an Core I5 with hybrid graphics card. Any advice ? I am using Catalyst driver as described here so I don't know what is the problem with fglrx driver.

Thank you very much for your help.

I solved it:

  1. Install the new kernel (It doesn't boot, I can't even acces with Ctrl+Alt+F1, all I get is a huge log).
  2. Boot Ubuntu with the previous kernel selecting in Grub to boot with Previous Linux Version.
  3. Install again ATI Catalyst but a newer version that works with 3.6.9 kernel (Catalyst 12.10) downloaded from ATI website. The installer will build the driver for both kernels.
  4. Run sudo aticonfig --initial -f thensudo aticonfig --px-dgpu the sudo reboot and boot with the new kernel it should boot correctly.
  5. To enable Direct Rendering for integrated card follow the instructions described here so you can boot with Integrated Intel Card.
