Few days ago, Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn had just released the latest kernel upgrade. Since my laptop has a few proprietary kernel modules, e.g., VMware player and fglrx, I have to rebuild them immediately before continue my usual work. Anyway, this process is a kind of auto response for kernel upgrade.

After upgrading kernel, you will get a prompt to reboot. Just reboot.

1. Download the correct kernel headers.

   sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
   

2. Build and install flgrx.

   sudo m-a build fglrx
   sudo m-a install fglrx
   

3. Reconfigure vmware.

   sudo vmware-config.pl
   

Now, it's time to reboot again.
