Changing Your Kernel (Virtual Machines)

For historical reasons, Virtual Machines do not run a kernel that is kept inside
the rest of the system.

If you wish to change the kernel that your machine is running you should use the actions menu to do so. (Press “Ctrl+p Ctrl+o” to display that menu.)

If you select “Change your kernel” you’ll be prompted to select the kernel you wish your machine to boot with in the future; the kernel marked Stable-i386.kvm is the preferred choice.

Once you’ve made your choice you will need to restart your machine for it to take effect.
