Install the Kernel
Once the kernel has successfully compiled, go ahead and install the new kernel and reboot.
Please note that kernel version numbers may change – in our example, it was 3.7.2. Depending on
Twitter Stream
the current kernel version, you might need to adjust it accordingly.

Follow Us! dpkg -i ../linux-image-3.7.2_3.7.2-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb


update-initramfs -c -k 3.7.2
update-grub2
reboot
Once rebooted, your new kernel should be running. If things go wrong and your kernel does not
boot, you can still boot the original stock Kali kernel and fix your issues.
