Installed wrong kernel , broke boot.list

[Jinto.Lin]

Ok, so I installed the wrong kernel when I was trying to get VirtualBox to work (It was a permissions issue, even worse I had forgotten that I already knew how to fix it!) and I installed a different kernel, and I don't even know what I installed because I edited the boot.list to try and find the right one.

Well, I found the right HD to put it on, and now I need to give it the right UUID somehow. It won't boot when the UUID is not there, and I don't know how to make Ubuntu add the right one.

This is what I have, and I think that is the correct kernel.

Type this from a terminal:


sudo blkid

I will show you the current UUID's. Also output your fstab:


cat /etc/fstab

Well, I did some editing of the boot.list and added an old UUID, and it boots up now! Thanks for your help!
