I have Ubuntu 18.04 and want to upgrade to kernel 4.16.9. Tried: update-grub, update-grub2, sudo update-initramfs -u, sudo grub2-install /dev/sda as mentioned here and here (didn't help).

uname -a shows old kernel. New kernel isn't even in list of additional boot options for Ubuntu in boot menu.

I tried dpkg -i *.deb these packages: enter image description here

I don't think you want to try 4.16.9 but

Go to: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.16.9/

Select the files:

  • linux-headers-4.16.9-041609_4.16.9-041609.201805161024_all.deb
  • linux-headers-4.16.9-041609-generic_4.16.9-041609.201805161024_amd64.deb
  • linux-image-unsigned-4.16.9-041609-generic_4.16.9-041609.201805161024_amd64.deb
  • linux-modules-4.16.9-041609-generic_4.16.9-041609.201805161024_amd64.deb

for downloading to a directory, say ~/Downloads.

Then change to the directory, confirm they have finished downloading and install the new kernel:

$ cd ~/Downloads
$ ll *.deb

Then you'll see an error message because of this bug. Now you'll have to fix it using this answer: Unable to upgrade kernel after 4.16.3
