Grub not showing installed kernels

linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – 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. Issueing it gives the following output: Generating grub.cfg ... cat: /boot/grub/video.lst: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-31-generic Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-31-generic /usr/sbin/grub-probe: Fehler: no such disk. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: Fehler: no such disk. Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-30-generic Found initr (HowTos)

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

I have one Ubuntu 13.04 and one Win7 on my system, but grub seems to be detecting them multiple times for some reason (see below) and I end up with two Ubuntus on my grub menu.

I installed lubuntu 12.04 on this machine, an old Thinkpad T30, alongside Windows XP. Since I can't access Quickbooks through lubuntu, the machine being too slow to run a virtual machine reliably, I used grub-customizer to move XP to the top of the grub list, and set the save-default option. Now, any time update-grub runs, I get this error:

Code: Installation finished.
