Hello,

 

I'm not quite sure that the kernel get upgrade with apt-get dist-upgrade, nevertheless you can chek if a new kernel is installed in the following way:

 

# ls -l /boot

 

you shoud have a vmlinuz the version of the kernel that you are looking for, if not go to www.kernel.org and download the kernel that you want and compile it.

 

 

Regards

 

I hope this helps.
