(2.6.24-20) how to get onto GRUB

[run1206]

Hi All,
i recently just uploaded the 2.6.24-20 kernel from the system updates a few minutes ago, but i didn't see it in GRUB when i restarted Ubuntu. Is there any way to get menu.lst to see the new update or do i have to load up an older kernel and "reinstall" the update? Any help appreciated, thanks in advance! :D

If you edit the menu list like below:

gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

You should see an entry towards the bottom that starts something like this:

## ## End Default Options ##

title Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-20-generic

If it is not there something went wrong with the install so you can try to re-install all of the 2.6.24-20 entries in synaptic

If it is there then look at the default option to see which entry in the list it is selecting. 0 is the first entry 1 is the second etc.

Is there an entry in you /boot folder for the new kernel?

You may not want to try to run the new kernel. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5447759#post5447759 is one of at least four threads I've seen this morning about problems with it.

the entries are in the /boot folder but are not showing up in the menu.lst file.

and currently reading about the bug in the update as well.
