grub shows the previous kernel you used along with the updated one. you can disable one by either uninstalling the previous kernel or editing grub.

Go to Applications/Accessories/Terminal.

Enter the following in terminal:

gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

At the bottom of the file you will see the grub entries. Either insert "#" before the older kernel listings or delete the lines completely. Save then exit and reboot to see changes on boot-up.

enter into root by using "su" or from login screen
enter following code at terminal


vi /boot/grub/menu.lst


remove the lines which you don't want to show in bootup screen or just comment them using #

you can also change the traditional line by replacing them with some funny line or with your name or anything you want

2.6.22-14 is a Gutsy kernel
2.6.24-16 is a Hardy kernel

You should leave both for now - and get wifi working in the newer Hardy kernel.

Then # the Gutsy kernel.
