Ubuntu Linux VM/Initrd Image 2.6.31.14 UPGRADE

[JustinR]

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.

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.
