Hello, I'm fairly inexperienced but I can document things carefully and hopefully we'll work through this together. I got stuck on my first attempt by some dependency problems.
Test 1: I selected what appeared to be the most recent release under v4.2-rc4-unstable/ --27-Jul-2015 22:15 Here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.2-rc4-unstable/ and the first in this folder that fits my architecture: linux-headers-4.2.0-040200rc4-generic_4.2.0-040200rc4.201507271733_amd64.deb pthvadmin@pthvadmin-Satellite-E45t-A:~/UpstreamKernel1$ sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-4.2.0-040200rc4-generic_4.2.0-040200rc4.201507271733_amd64.deb (Reading database ... 191161 files and directories currently installed.)

Unpacking linux-headers-4.2.0-040200rc4-generic (4.2.0-040200rc4.201507271733) over (4.2.0-040200rc4.201507271733) ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-headers-4.2.0-040200rc4-generic: linux-headers-4.2.0-040200rc4-generic depends on linux-headers-4.2.0-040200rc4; however: Package linux-headers-4.2.0-040200rc4 is not installed. dpkg: error processing package linux-headers-4.2.0-040200rc4-generic (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: linux-headers-4.2.0-040200rc4-generic ---------- Test 2: It appears the package its dependent on its the same except not 'generic'? Next I tried: linux-headers-4.2.0-040200rc4_4.2.0-040200rc4.201507271733_all.deb from the same folder. This had a suspiciously short output but installed properly. I tried rebooting but no new kernels appeared in GRUB. I thought maybe this could have fulfilled some of the dependencies and tried the first file again: linux-headers-4.2.0-040200rc4-generic_4.2.0-040200rc4.201507271733_amd64.deb pthvadmin@pthvadmin-Satellite-E45t-A:~/UpstreamKernel1$ sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-4.2.0-040200rc4-generic_4.2.0-040200rc4.201507271733_amd64.deb [sudo] password for pthvadmin: Selecting previously unselected package linux-headers-4.2.0-040200rc4-generic.
