Hi,

Maybe it's a stupid question! :)
Which kernel version 9.04 uses? I upgrade 9.04 from 8.10. When I entered the command uname -r, the kernel version is still the same as 8.10: "2.6.27"

It should be the 2.6.28-11-generic kernel, at least that is the one I am using.

sure, that you did the upgrade? :)



lsb_release -a




No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04
Codename: jaunty


check that GRUB was updated correctly:



less /boot/grub/menu.lst


Just an example:



title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-generic
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=/dev/md0 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic


Check what you have installed:



ls -ltr /boot/vmlinuz*

Surely, I did upgrade ;)
I saw that the file /boot/grub/menu.lst hasn't been changed after upgrading.
I'll check the command "cat /proc/version" after I get back home from work

Alright ;)

I am not sure, but I can remember from a dist-upgrade earlier that I was asked if I want to overwrite the menu.lst or not.

Did you had such a dialog ?
I couldn't verify this time because my pc was turned off during the upgrade.

Just add the new entries pointing to the latest kernel in the GRUB menu.lst and leave the existing ones till you are sure that it's working!

Greetz,
