Cara Upgrade Kernel Kali Linux 1.0

Kali ini kami akan membahas "Cara Mengupdate Kernel Kali Linux". Karena Updating kernel itu penting!

Untuk mengupdate kernel tanpa compilling kernel, akan menggunakan Backports. Tentang Backports, silahkan baca Quotes berikut

Backports are recompiled packages from testing (mostly) and unstable (in a few cases only, e.g. security updates) in a stable environment so that they will run without new libraries (whenever it is possible) on a Debian stable distribution. Backports cannot be tested as extensively as Debian stable, and backports are provided on an as-is basis, with risk of incompatibilities with other components in Debian stable. Use with care! It is therefore recommended to select single backported packages that fit your needs, and not use all available backports.

Nah, Langsung saja mulai Updating Kernel Kali Linux-nya

1. Buka terminal dan jalankan sebagai root
2. Tambahkan repository Blackport dengan mengedit /etc/apt/sources.list

# vi /etc/apt/sources.list

3. Tambahkan repo berikut

deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main

Kemudian update dengan mengetikkan

 # apt-get update

4.  Selanjutnya instalasi atau upgrading kernel dengan backport

# apt-cache search linux-image-3

 Sample outputs:

linux-headers-3.2.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 - Header files for Linux 3.2.0-0.bpo.2-amd64
linux-headers-3.2.0-0.bpo.2-rt-amd64 - Header files for Linux 3.2.0-0.bpo.2-rt-amd64
linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.2-amd64-dbg - Debugging infos for Linux 3.2.0-0.bpo.2-amd64
linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 - Linux 3.2 for 64-bit PCs
linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.2-rt-amd64-dbg - Debugging infos for Linux 3.2.0-0.bpo.2-rt-amd64
linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.2-rt-amd64 - Linux 3.2 for 64-bit PCs, PREEMPT_RT

5. Selanjutnya ketikkan perintah berikut untuk menginstall (hanya contoh)

 apt-get -t squeeze-backports install linux-image-3.x.x-x.bpo.2-amd64 firmware-linux-free

6.  Reboot komputer Anda setelah instalasi
