Hi Pietro,

as I wrote before, the new kernels are not in the repos. But I can
assure you there is no chance to trash your system, because we don't
overwrite any data here, we just add some new data (well, you can screw
up your menu.lst, but not if you follow my advice ;)

You can install it the following way:

1. Point your browser to -> http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/main/base/
2. find linux-image-2.6.27-*-generic (* = always the highest number there is, 
for the newest kernel release. At the moment this number is two) and open the 
page
3. Choose you system (x86 = i386 / x64 = amd64) and download the .deb file
4. Double-click on the .deb file to install.
5. If you are asked what to do with menu.lst, select "keep the current version".
6. After GDebi completed the install, open a terminal and type:
sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

in gedit, just copy your normal kernel entry and paste it again.
Then, in the your newly created entry, exchange all the old kernel numbers with 
the new ones. Example of my menu.lst:

title           Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-21-generic
root            (hd0,5)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-21-generic

initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-21-generic
quiet
