    Exclamation Ubuntu Linux VM/Initrd Image 2.6.31.14 UPGRADE

    Hello,

    I've just upgraded the Ubuntu's Linux Image from 2.6.31.14 to 2.6.31.15 and now I have four Ubuntu Entries:

    Ubuntu 2.6.31.15
    Ubuntu 2.6.31.15 (Recovery)
    Ubuntu 2.6.31.14
    Ubuntu 2.6.31.14 (Recovery

    And there is also two Memtest options as well.

    How can I remove the older Linux image? The newer one works just fine.

    Thank you.

    Edit: I checked Synaptic and the older linux image isn't there so is uninstalling it as simple as going into my /boot directory and deleting the 2.6.31.14 files?

    First of all backup your menu.lst file by doing

    sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.backup
    then edit this file by typing below command in terminal console

    sudo vi /boot/grub/menu.lst
    You can either delete below entry or just comment it out.

    title Ubuntu 9.10, kernel 2.6.31-14-generic
    uuid 75b2488b-37c6-469d-b474-7bff394ceaa6
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=UUID=75b2488b-37c6-469d-b4$
    initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic
    quiet

    I've just upgraded to 2.6.31.15 but it won't boot up. It gets to the splash resolution test and just sits there flickering with a login line.
    Any ideas? 2.6.31.14 still works so I'm using that at the moment.
