Whenever Update mgr updates the kernel, on reboot I get the following error for the new kernel.
Bad or missing file.
Using grub, select the previous kernel. Boots fine, even though I would have gotten the same error after that kernel update. I always have to use grub to select the last kernel.
After install of F16 all was well but ran a yum update and rebooted to the newer (3.4.xxx x86_64) kernel and screen goes blank after grub menu. Could choose the original F16 (3.1.xxx_x86_64) kernel at grub and it would boot fine.
I decided to give F17 a try...
After a clean F17 installation all is working fine... Then run yum update and reboot into latest kernel...
You have to edit your grub. Please make a backup: sudo cp /etc/default/grub /etc/default/grub.backupThe setting is only useful if you have a graphic card on an Intel Sandy Bridge CPU.

Hi all,
My system seems to have Grub 1.99 and I want to change the default kernel.
I thought I could do it like this:
Code:
vi /etc/default/grub
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
in order to always choose the first entry on my list.
I also tried:
Code:
vi /etc/default/grub
GRUB_DEFAULT=Fedora (3.3.0)
My reference is section 5.1 here:
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/man...-configurati
I upgraded to 12.10 (32-bit) a few weeks ago (from 12.04) and everything has been running fine. A few days ago, the updater installed the latest kernel (3.5.0.22 ?) and since then I always have to manually select the latest kernel when booting.
I tried looking for /etc/default/grub but that file didn't exist.

How can I reboot into windows from inside my Linux shell?
When I reboot and want to select another kernel image in grub2 or another OS like windows I have to wait until grub comes up and then select manually the image I want.
The kernel image that comes with the Waldorf Live ISO isn't in the Testing repo anymore because it's been superseded by 3.2.0-4.sudo apt-get dist-upgradewill install latest kernel. Reboot (or possibly chroot to the new kernel, but frankly reboot is easier) let GRUB pick the newer kernel, then install the headers.
Yesterday, the update applet suggested me to install a kernel update for security reasons. So I did.
Now, I have 2 new entries in Grub:2.6.31.8-0.1-pae and its failsafe alternative. The -pae kernel is now selected as default. If I boot it, if fails with something like:
waiting for disk-..... to appear. Failed
would you like to fall back to disk-..... ?
