Based on what you have written here, I would say you don't. You don't say where the new 2.6 kernel was compiled so I can only guess it was on the Ubuntu Host. If you want to test kernel compiles, then you do this: Install vbox on your host os. create a guest os of the same vintage has the host. Inside the guest OS download and compile/install the desired kernel as normal then reboot the guest, don't forget the snapshot feature in case something goes terribly wrong. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
