Try:
$ apt update
$ apt-get build-dep linux
$ cd /usr/src/
$ wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.8.11.tar.xz
$ tar xf linux-4.8.11.tar.xz
$ cd linux-4.8.11
$ cp -av /boot/config-$(uname -r)
$ make oldconfig (Just always <Enter> until the prompt comes back)
$ make && make modules_install
$ update-initramfs -c -k 4.8.11
Make sure that one of the entries in /etc/silo.conf points to the correct
kernel and initrd. I suggest always having a backup kernel available
under a second label. If you look at /etc/silo.conf, the configuration
format should be straight-forward to understand.

Yes.
