Or at least I think it is a problem.....
Several days ago a Kernel upgrade came out
(linux-image-2.6.15-22-686).
I upgraded.
I then found that there wasn't any corresponding
linux-restricted-modules file yet.
Since so I went back to using the previous kernel
which I had not
uninstalled.
After that, every time I booted/rebooted my computer
I'd wind up with
the newer
kernel unless I quickly hit the escape key and
selected the older one..
That was getting annoying so I'd planned on editing
my menu.lst file to
add more time to the timeout.
But after a day or so I noticed that if I didn't
catch it and the newer
kernel would boot, I'd not be able to get past the
usplash screen.
Strangely it would behave normally but instead of
taking me to the display
manager it would restart but appear blank (just the
logo would be there).
My computer would then freeze and I'd have to
reboot.
Upon rebooting I'd be sure to catch it in time and
go back to the older
kernel.
Finally I got tired of that so I just now
uninstalled the older kernel so
there would only be one for grub to choose from and
I'd not have that
problem anymore.
Now for some strange reason I felt compelled to take
a look at my
menu.lst file right after uninstalling the newer
kernel (I normally
never bother looking at it after installing a
kernel) and was a bit
alarmed at what I saw.
If I'm reading this correctly, the next time I boot,
GRUB will attempt
to boot not the kernel I have installed and not the
one I just
uninstalled, but the default kernel that was
installed when I first
installed Ubuntu to begin with (that would be
-2.6.15-20-386)! I got
rid of that ages ago.
I'd edit menu.lst to correct it, but I'm not 100%
sure this is a problem
(only 99%).
On the other hand the files it lists are nowhere to
be found in /boot
(which makes perfect sense).
Maybe I'm just misreading menu.lst?
I'm really afraid of screwing this up further
(assuming it is now). I've
never known what to do previously when I'd start my
computer and
couldn't get past GRUB (I'm talking well before
Ubuntu). I'd end up
reinstalling my complete distro from scratch (which
seems a bit drastic)
but I know nothing about how to "rescue" in those
cases.
Anyhow, here is the contents of my.menu.lst file.
Thanks. Any help would be appreciated.
# menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8)
# grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8),
# grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub
# and /usr/share/doc/grub-doc/.
## default num
# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM.
Numbering starts from
0, and
# the entry number 0 is the default if the command
is not used.
#
# You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In
this case, the default
entry
# is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
# WARNING: If you are using dmraid do not change
this entry to 'saved'
or your
# array will desync and will not let you boot your
system.
default 0
## timeout sec
# Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before
automatically booting the
default entry
# (normally the first entry defined).
timeout 3
## hiddenmenu
# Hides the menu by default (press ESC to see the
menu)
hiddenmenu
# Pretty colours
#color cyan/blue white/blue
## password ['--md5'] passwd
# If used in the first section of a menu file,

editing
# control (menu entry editor and command-line) and
entries protected by the
# command 'lock'
# e.g. password topsecret
