It is not clear to me whether your questionI regularly do apt-get upgrade, but not to next Debian version. So, how this kernel be old for Debian 7?is a request for information, or merely rhetorical (ie, an assertion that your kernel is in fact current relative to debian 7). In case you were asking, I'm still using debian 7 too, $ cat /etc/debian_version 7.11 and, for what it's worth, in case it interests you $ uname -a Linux leviathan 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.86-1 i686 GNU/Linux I notice the version you posted here (3.2.84-1) is slightly older than mine. If like myself you plan on running the 3.2.0-4-* release for a while, It might[1] be worth upgrading at least to version 3.2.86-1:
Well, doing regulat apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, I fought that kernel is also upgraded. I've seen this several times. How comes it wasn't updated to 3.2.86-1.
As for apt-cache search '^linux-image-*' : linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64 - Linux 3.2 for 64-bit PCs linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64-dbg - Debugging symbols for Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 linux-image-3.2.0-4-rt-amd64 - Linux 3.2 for 64-bit PCs, PREEMPT_RT linux-image-3.2.0-4-rt-amd64-dbg - Debugging symbols for Linux 3.2.0-4-rt-amd64 linux-image-2.6-amd64 - Linux for 64-bit PCs (dummy package) linux-image-amd64 - Linux for 64-bit PCs (meta-package) linux-image-rt-amd64 - Linux for 64-bit PCs (meta-package), PREEMPT_RT Then doing apt-get install linux-image-amd64 says it already latest version. Anyway, this slightly different (minor) version difference could be the problem? -- Mimiko desu.
