Hi Svein,

Unfortunately the Hardy Heron Alpha1 was released with the 2.6.22 kernel. Alpha2 should have the new 2.6.24 kernel. However, in the meantime, you should be able to temporarily install and test the new Hardy kernel. Here are the instructions to do so:

1) edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and add the following lines (replace <mirror> with whatever mirror you are currently using in your
sources.list file):

deb <mirror> hardy main restricted
deb-src <mirror> hardy main restricted

2) sudo apt-get update
3) sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.24-1-generic
4) reboot and make sure to select the newer kernel from the grub menu

After you've tested, feel free to revert back - ie boot into old kernel, sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.24-1-generic, remove lines from
/etc/apt/sources.list

Thanks!
