[Gregory Cook]

Following the procedures list here:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/47796/can-i-update-the-kernel-of-my-10-04-lts-to-the-latest-kernel

To get the latest kernel for 10.04. The site specifically mentions that I may need to update my proprietary drivers after installing this kernel, but submitting the bug report just in case the information helps.

Just fyi, I have a USB 3.0 hub and USB 3.0 external hard drive which according to this post:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/via-labs-usb-3-0-hub-will-not-recognize-a-usb-3-0-device-873399/

Is only supported in kernel 2.6.39 and greater.

My current kernel version is reported as: (uname -r) 2.6.32-41-generic
