Y'day I installed most of the updates offered for 10.10 under UPDATE MANAGER. After restarting am seeing a new entry 2.6.35-28 in the boot up menu. Attached is an image.

Can someone clarify if this is normal ? will a new version entry be added every time I install new upgrades?

thanks

It is just a new kernel resulting from the update.

Hi,
yes this is normal. After a kernel upgrade a new entry is added to the GRUB menu (I believe the maximum is 7).

It is advisable, for troubleshooting purposes, to keep at least one spare kernel on the menu.

If you would like a GUI app. to customize the menu, including deciding which entries appear, see this tutorial by drs305:
