To install Linux Kernel 3.9 raring
Open a terminal and move to the directory where you have downloaded the kernel packages. If the files are in /Downloads directory then run the following command.
cd ~/Downloads/
Then use dpkg command to install the packages, for example here I have explained how-to’s for 32-bit versions. Run the following commands one by one and type the password for the user, when prompted.
For linux-headers
sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-3.9.0-030900_3.9.0-030900.201304291257_all.deb
For linux-headers-generic
sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-3.9.0-030900-generic_3.9.0-030900.201304291257_i386.deb

If you are facing any warnings or error while installing then try installing module-init-tools 3.13 first, and try again now it should work. Restart your system now by default it will boot kernel 3.9 raring, you will be able to see while booting. To check after booting open a terminal and type “uname -r“. Check the screen shot below.
Hope this will be helpful for you!!!
