Need for speed :) Figured I would try the latest kernel in my VirtualBox setup on my mac

grab the deb packages from :

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30/

Index of /~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30

	linux-headers-2.6.30-020630-generic_2.6.30-020630_i386.deb	10-Jun-2009 11:27	598K
	linux-headers-2.6.30-020630_2.6.30-020630_all.deb	10-Jun-2009 10:04	8.8M
	linux-image-2.6.30-020630-generic_2.6.30-020630_i386.deb	10-Jun-2009 11:27	24M

Install these packages : sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Reboot :sudo reboot

Setup the virtualbox driver : sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

Reboot : sudo reboot

done - perfect :)

$ uname -a
Linux glaw-desktop 2.6.30-020630-generic #020630 SMP Wed Jun 10 09:45:40 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

What's this really get me? Don't know yet - but its kewl :)

**Edit ***

On my laptop, running Ubuntu natively, I also had to update to the newest 180.60 Nvidia drivers :

nvidia-180-kernel-source_180.60-0ubuntu1_i386.deb

nvidia-180-libvdpau_180.60-0ubuntu1_i386.deb

nvidia-glx-180-dev_180.60-0ubuntu1_i386.deb

nvidia-glx-180_180.60-0ubuntu1_i386.deb

First I uninstalled the kernel -

sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-2.6.30-020630 linux-headers-2.6.30-020630-generic linux-image-2.6.30-020630-generic

then installed the new nvidia packages :

sudo dpkg -i nvidia*.deb

then reinstalled the kernel :

sudo dpkg -i linux-*.deb

Then rebooted
