Bonzo,

Go to http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/, look for the
2.5.34-lucid folder (not the ones with the rc- suffix - those are
release candidates), and download three files - the linux-
headers-2.6.34-020634-all.deb file, the linux-
headers-2.6.34-020634-generic_2.6.34-020634-amd64.deb, and the linux-
image-2.6.34-020634-generic_2.6.34-020634-amd64.deb.  That's for a
64-bit installation such as I have.  If you have the 32-bit
installation, substitute the versions that end with i386.deb for those
last two files only.

Install the "all.deb" file first.  You should just be able to double-
click on them and gdebi package manager should launch.  Afterwards,
reboot and it should go to your new kernel by default.  You will have to
reinstall any proprietary drivers that were hand-installed - for
example, I had to reinstall the Broadcom proprietary driver.  Couple of
other patches needed to be applied to the new kernel as well - one for
the CD eject button, one to fix a ureadahead error on bootup.  If you
have problems on bootup you can hold the shift key down and get a menu
allowing you to boot into your old kernel.  Probably you should make a
copy of any important docs before trying the new kernel.
