I'm using Ubuntu 13.4, kernel version 3.11.0-15-generic. I want to upgrade to kernel 3.13.1 to take advantage of the new multi-queue block layer. This is very important for me, since I am benchmarking SSDs.
I followed the instructions here on the installation: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/01/install-upgrade-linux-kernel-3-13-1-ubuntu/.
I then restarted. I get the following screen on start-up.
The link I used actually also says this:
"If you’re using a proprietary video driver, you may need to re-build or re-install to get it work with the new kernel."
So perhaps I need to upgrade my video driver? If so, how does one do that?
I found this command to check what driver I have: lshw -c video. Here is the output.

I then tried looking up updating or reinstalling the radeon driver, but I couldn't find anything. This makes me believe I am on the wrong track.
