updates problem

[guitar_man]

I dont if i should be called as problem...maybe it is...


I updated my machine last time,and there was an update for the kernel.
My current kernel is 2.6.24-21-generic...i updated it to 2.6.24-25,i dont remember exact the updated kernel version..I dowdload it from the update manager..then restart my machine...
PROBLEM:when Ive restarted my machine,on the GRUB boot loader the kernel version is still 2.6.24-21-generic...
it happens twice

Ive updated kernel before but updates were successful

PLEASE do help...
Thanks..

[loell]

could it be that you have multi-booted?
in my case, I have ubuntu multiboots, the latest version has the control over grub so when i boot to previous version and i update it( with kernel updates) it won't appear in menu.lst .

Maybe it could help if you post your /boot/grub/menu.lst here.

[loell]

can you backup your current menu.lst?

then update grub manually

sudo update-grub

the post back if theres any changes at all?

[guitar_man]

sir loell


la pa din nangyari...may effect kaya yung Qgrubeditor na ininstall ko...kasi dati wala nun ok naman update

[loell]

you backed up you previous menu.lst, right?

now delete it entirely ( sudo rm /boot/grub/menu.lst )

re-update grub again, then post the updated menu.lst

[guitar_man]

Could not find /boot/grub/menu.lst file. Would you like /boot/grub/menu.lst generated for you? (y/N) y

[loell]

###sir mukhang nawala yung Xp ko

exactly, so you just have to add it

sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

at the end , just copy paste it.

pasingit lang po since were speaking about boot grub.. what if i would like to add another OS like Mac OSX (patched to work for PC).. my lappie already on dualboot with XP and i'm planning to install Mac OSX on it as well, what i was planning to do is use QParted to partition my HDD and install OSX there, if i do that how would i add OSX on boot grub menu?..

i already know how to revive the existing boot grub by running live cd.. (it was erased when i reinstalled XP) will it be the same process?

thanks!

[loell]

i think you need yaboot. :) but i really don't know how that works. :(

[guitar_man]

sir loell bakit nung 2.6.24-23-generic na yung ginamit kong kernel ayaw na gumana yung compiz fusion ko?
medyo madaming error ako nakuha...ngayon nga lang ako nakapagpost sa sa sobrang pangngalikto ng kompyuter ko

[loell]

how did you get your video drivers before? did you compile it?

[guitar_man]

hindi sir...sa add/remove ko lang yun niligay:(

[loell]

hindi sir...sa add/remove ko lang yun niligay:(

strange, i'm not sure why it would not do compiz. in any case 2.6.24-23 and below versions, are now available at your grub selection, try other kernel entries, see what works and what doesn't.

[guitar_man]

sir loell...
sa kernel 2.6.24-22 ok yung driver na-enable ko sa Hardware Dirvers

pero ayaw pa din gumana ng mga effects...hindi kaya hindi pa ok yung Video Card ko pa sa 2.6.24-23?
NVIDIA FX5200 128mb

[loell]

hmmm, really a strange case, i do have an nvidia card, and never have i encounter a symptom like this (yet).

perhaps this is a xorg issue, it may be better to make another clean thread for this. :)
