    http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/  (in this case I am download 2.6.32 kernel version for update)
     
  2. Download this 3 file types (it will depend on your processor architecture - my one is Intel 32bit - then i am downloaded i386 file types)

    (your downloaded file must contain this names as file name)

    i.   linux-headers-??????????_all.deb
    ii.  linux-headers-??????????_i386.deb
    iii. linux-image-????????????_i386.deb

    Ex: (my downloaded files in order to above file naming criteria)

    linux-headers-2.6.32-020632_2.6.32-020632_all.deb
    linux-headers-2.6.32-020632-generic_2.6.32-020632_i386.deb
