Thank you for your quick answer. I will try and update the kernel, but I don't know how. If you can link me a guide that would be of great help, if not I will be searching google.
The first step is to download the kernel source from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.26.2.tar.bz2. Open a terminal and unpack it with a 'tar jxvf linux-2.6.26.2.tar.bz2' command. The download is 47 MB.
The next step is to make sure that you have the c compiler and make routine installed. You can do this by entering the commands 'gcc' and 'make'. If either of them returns a "command not found" message, then you need to get them for your distribution.
At this point do a 'cd linux-2.6.26.2' command and look for the configuration used by your distro. I use openSUSE which puts the configuration at /proc/config.gz. Other distros place it in /boot. As I don't know where yours is, I cannot help you more. From here you should look at Google to find how to build a kernel for your distro.
