I've upgraded my Yakkety kernel upgrade script in line with the latest Ubuntu Yakkety kernel.
To upgrade your kernel first download the shell script for the kernel version you require and after making it executable (enter 'chmod 755 <script>') you can install it as 'root' (by entering 'sudo <script>'). Once the script has finished executing the device will need to be rebooted to use the updated (patched) kernel.
