The simplest set of instructions I always used for kernel upgrade / downgrade

1. Go here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
2. Download 3 (maybe 4) debs to a folder somewhere:
   linux-headers-VERSION-NUMBER_all.deb
   linux-headers-VERSION-NUMBER_amd64.deb
   linux-image-VERSION-NUMBER_amd64.deb
   linux-image-extra-VERSION-NUMBER_amd64.deb # if available
   
   
3. Install the debs with whatever package manager front-end you use (is gdebi still around?), or use these commands:
   cd /path/to/folder/where/you/put/the/debs
   sudo dpkg -i *.deb
4. sudo update-grub
5. sudo reboot
