After installing rpi-update
:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install rpi-update
And doing an update of the firmware and the kernel with it:
sudo rpi-update
You can delete the backups done by rpi-update
(but be sure to test everything is ok rebooting the Raspberry Pi first). In my case I updated from 3.10-3-rpi to 3.10.33+ and those are the commands I used:
sudo rm -R /boot.bak sudo rm -R /lib/modules.bak sudo rm -R /lib/modules/3.10-3-rpi
