I recently upgraded from Fedora 15 to 16 via the desktop dvd. Now the grub menu includes old entries from Fedora 15 kernels, even though they no longer exist. I tried commenting out all Fedora 15 kernels from "menu.lst", and checked "grub.conf" as well. The FC15 kernels still appear in the grub boot menu though. Does anyone know where is I may look to get rid of these entries?
If you are running regularly update in your system,the old kernel left behind when ubuntu installs a new linux kernel.The old kernels leave in grub menu,so grub becomes longer and longer.
You can check which kernel you are running by this command:
name -r
Then use this command to remove unused kernels as well as in grub menu:
I am running 12.04 and after doing some updates I ran grub customizer to clean up the grub menu. I swear I only unchecked Linux entries with old kernels, but when I restarted the only grub choice is for the windows 7 partion.
Could someone help me boot into Ubuntu!
Thanks!
I have 11.10 and Windows 7 in dual boot. Today I tried to update grub and I run the following command in terminal:
sudo fdisk -l
sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
sudo grub-install
After installation and reboot, it does not show the grub menu (from which I can choose which OS to boot) and it directly boots Ubuntu.
Please help.
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'm running Lucid Lynx with 3.0 kernels and want to remove the 2.6 kernels and associated image files. Problem is, the kernels aren't showing up on Synaptic... but they're definitely there (at the very least, there are entries in the boot menu that correspond to a bunch of 2.6 files that I vaguely recall upgrading to in the past).
Looks like you are not using Chakra's grub to boot.If you do know that for example, it is Ubuntu's grub and it is still installed there, go to Ubuntu and at terminal, "sudo update-grub" If you don't know, what OS is at the top of the menu?print out that grub's grub.cfg (or menu.lst)as well as fdisk -l and blkid
I have a dual-boot WIn 7/Precise system. I made a mistake with grub-customizer and now at the grub boot menu I can't see any of the Linux entries, just the Win 7 one. What would be the easiest way to boot Linux so I can run grub-customizer again?
I can install grub-customizer with the Ubuntu LiveCD, but it asks for a root partition and I don't see one listed.
-Thanks! LloydM999
