Intrepid to Jaunty Upgrade - Grub not updated

[ittiam]

I did an upgrade to stable release of jaunty but still the grub does not get updated. Neither did the new kernel show up nor the ubuntu version got updated. I had to manually edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file and then it worked. Is this a known issue with the stable release?

EDIT: Before posting I did google but the same problem was reported occurring only with the alpha release.

Is this anyway related to grub or grub2? I do not use grub2, so is that the problem?

I had this problem too, except I am not sure how to update my menu.lst manually. How do I know all the kernel numbers and file locations?

thanks

if you've downloaded and installed the kernels, and they're sitting in /boot, run


sudo update-grub

this will automatically scan /boot and add menu.lst entries for all the vmlinuz and initrd.img kernel images

Thank you. I found another post that was similar. I needed to first rm the existing menu.lst file. Then the update worked. Now I am using the correct kernel and the menu is correct. Thank you.
