Kali stuck on old kernel

[wolfsta]

Hi

I'm trying to install the kernel headers so I can update drivers on macbook pro. When i install the kernel headers using the 'uname -r' option it says not found. So when i check uname -r says i have 4.6.0 installed.

When i autocomplete at terminal with apt-get install kernel-headers- all it shows is 4.8.0

Apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade doesnt update the kernel to 4.8.0.

So am I supposed to install the 4.8.0 headers? or what should I do?

Thanks

After no answers and a lot of googling, i think I found the problem. Apparently the kernel won't upgrade when running from live usb. Its just the user data that gets stored in persistence. So on live USB you are stuck with kernel that is there from download of image? Can someone confirm this?

The 4.8.0 kernel is installed alongside the 4.6.0 when i check via 'dpkg' but apparently can't be booted.

have same trouble at my laptop with kali linux usb with persistence.
so i think that u at truth way.

btw ive try to manully update linux-headers by typing apt-get install linux-headers-4.8.0... while i has 4.6.0 version from uname -r

and i have no error messages before\after reboot
but uanme -r still show 4.6.0 verion
