Ok thanks, I think I will wait for the 3.10 on the link you provided.. Then, running it on my machine is just like copying the file like "linux-image-3.9.1-030901-generic_3.9.1-030901.201305080210_amd64.deb" into my existing /boot/ folder and letting grub to boot it, isn't it? But what about the initrd image? It is not provided on your link... I can take the old one I was booting? What is this image? As you suggested, now I will try to build bcache-tools. But shouldn't I compile it only when I'm running the new kernel? Thanks very much.
