should do? test kernel remotely successful in being installed? if original kernel had problems flickering, kernel should boot? appreciate help!

it looks though didn't copy on "all" header file. need both, , 1 needed loaded before other. never remember order, if doesn't work try other 1 first (i things 1 @ time, instead of *.deb).
looks though linux-image did install, suggest again.
