I have three system on Ubuntu 9.10. Two of them are at kernel level 2.6.31.20 and one seems to be stuck at 2.6.31.17. All three have about the same software sources. The only difference I can see is that the .17 system is on Grub2 and the other are Grub1 systems. I have tried updating via Synaptic but nothing can get the one system to get a kernal upgrade.

The .17 system seems to go through updates of packages but no kernel updates.

Suggestions?

On the non-upgraded system run these commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo update-grub

Nope, did not work.
After I do the update-grub command it says that /boot/grub/menu.lst has been updated. However, the time stamp and file contents have not changed.

For what its worth, the latest -20 kernel is listed in /boot. But, when I do a restart only the -17 kernel is shown.

Ok, fixed the problem. Somehow, I lost grub2 from the system but it still had all the files in /boot. So, reinstalled groub2 and now all is better.
