I use ubuntu for almost 3 yrs. I had installed 8.04 on my Acer TravelMate 5720 laptop.
I have been upgrading to newer releases and eventually reached 10.04 last week.
In the grub, I see quite a few kernels listed. The first few are (I've omitted the recovery stuff)
linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic-pae 2.6.32-22.33
linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic 2.6.32-22.33
linux-image-2.6.31-21-generic-pae 2.6.31-21.59
linux-image-2.6.31-21-generic 2.6.31-21.59
linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic-pae 2.6.31-20.58
linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic 2.6.31-20.58
linux-image-2.6.28-18-server 2.6.28-18.60
linux-image-2.6.28-18-generic 2.6.28-18.60
linux-image-2.6.28-17-server 2.6.28-17.58
linux-image-2.6.28-17-generic 2.6.28-17.58
linux-image-2.6.28-16-server 2.6.28-16.57
But not every one of them boot. Since I have 4GB of RAM I am interested in "pae" enabled kernels. But when I choose them, the grub reboots.
After some trial and error I found that ONLY 2.6.31-21-generic works. But it does not make use of 4GB RAM.
I tried deleting files in /boot/grub that end with *1_5, as somewhere I read this would fix the grub reboot issue. But that dint help. Grub reboots only for certain kernels.
I desperately need to get pae work as I am running virtualbox with guests OSes (windows & Suse). Any pointers would be of great help.
