    Exclamation Kernel removal or...

    Hi I have Ubuntu with the array kernel (For eeepc's) anyways I installed virtualbox and the it came with a kernel packaging module and to get my Virtualbox going it installed the default ubuntu kernel. Thankfully my older kernel is there its just not the default one. Is there anyway I could remove the generic kernel or make my eeepc kernel the default one?

    Thanks it just what I needed, I was in the rigth way... though I was searching with the wrong keywords. The "Linux-image" was the one I needed.

    It should have updated your GRUB. I wonder why it didn't. May be the GRUB entries were added manually.

    You can use startup-manager or edit /boot/grub/menu.lst manually to edit the boot entries.

    Thanks! I forgot how nifty the startup manager was. I think I am done here.
