Oh, last week or thereabouts, the automatic upgrades included a kernal upgrade from 2.6.31-14 to -20. -20 fails to load, reports a panic trying to address a particular file system block or something (sorry, over my head here). This is a WUBI-installed 9.10 installation, works quite well for my purposes with the slightly older kernel, and I am able to boot in since I am offered a menu with both kernel options.
But
it would be so nice to edit that menu to eliminate the -20 kernel option (so that it won't automatically try to boot that and fail).
It would be nice to kill that -20 kernel altogether.
It would be really nice to understand the problem and fix it.
Effective guidance (not over-technical please; I am old enough that is merely confuses me...) on any or all of these would be most welcome.
