You should NOT do this on Ubuntu Studio (or any Ubuntu) unless you want
to fix real borkage. Try upgrading to the latest Ubuntu Studio, it may
have 2.6.31 at least (not sure on whether they have 2.6.32, maybe in the
latest alpha?).

A bit of an explanation, in Ubuntu (like most distros) the kernel
version and various packages in the system are closely tied together,
such that a jump from 2.6.28 to 2.6.32 is likely to result in quite a
few problems.
