http://askubuntu.com – I'm running Ubuntu 12.04. This morning after a long-overdue reboot for a long-pending kernel update, I discovered that I could no longer start up any VirtualBox machines; long story short, this lead me to discover that I am currently running kernel 3.0: root@vmsys:~# uname -r 3.0.0-19-generic This is odd, considering that I understand 12.04 runs on kernel 3.2, and I have a 3.2 kernel installed: root@vmsys:~# ls /boot/vmlinuz-3.2* /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-24-generic /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-25-generic root@vmsys:~# aptitude search linux-image-3.2.0-25-generic i linux-image-3.2.0-25-generic (HowTos)

Stories similar to Grub is not presenting kernel 3.2 as an option

Whenever I try to update my packages, things seem to go ok.

I have a linux vps running Ubuntu 12.04 and when I run uname-r it replies:

paul@webforms:~$ uname -r 2.6.32.33-kvm-i386-20111128-dirty paul@webforms:~$ sudo grub-install -v grub-install (GRUB) 1.99-21ubuntu3.1

if I run update-grub I get:

paul@webforms:~$ sudo update-grub Generating grub.cfg ... Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-26-generic-pae Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-26

I cant start Grub Customizer in ubuntu 12.04 after updating the kernel:

exception '15AssertException' with message 'found unexpected file on path: /etc/grub.d/10_linux' in /build/buildd/grub-customizer-3.0.2/src/Model/ListCfg.cpp:916

Also update-grub command shows two identical kernels:

Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-36-generic Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-36-generic Foun

My laptop dual-boots Windows 7 & Ubuntu. Recently I added a logical partition and installed Backtrack. So now I'm triple-booting.

Although I have several kernel versions in /boot and having them in my grub.cfg, they are not displayed in the grub boot menu.

Running update-grub seems to work, as it puts the kernels in the grub.cfg in /boot/grub.

Hi, I've got a grub related problem.

Code: egroot@Cassiopeia:~$ ls -l /boot/grub/menu.lst -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5144 dec 26 11:55 /boot/grub/menu.lst egroot@Cassiopeia:~$ sudo update-grub [sudo] password for egroot: Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub Searching for default file ... found: /boot/grub/default Testing for an existing GRUB menu.lst file ...

I run dist-upgrade and I ended up with this error:

Error!

Hi, New to Linux, I run the update-manager, and get the message that there's no more room in /boot. This is interesting, as I do recall having to update the kernel 'back in the day', but haven't done so this time. Anyway ..

Hi I got three harddrives two 250gb and a 500gb and yesterday I installed windows on a raid 0 with my two 250gbs and today I installed Ubuntu on my 500gb drive but grub ain't showing the windows as a boot option, I've tried sudo update-grub2 but it just lists the regular :

Generating grub.cfg ... Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-16-generic Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-16-gener
