Upgrading kernels in Debian is as trivial (generally) as installing a new Debian package. For example, if you've installed Debian kernel-image-2.6.7-1-686-smp then upgrading to a new kernel simply means:

$ wajig update $ wajig install kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686-smp

Assuming you are using grub as you boot loader and you have modified the grub configuration file as described in Section , next reboot will use the new kernel (and give you the choice of booting the previous kernel, just in case).
