Thank you for noticing this. My intent was to have stable (Squeeze) controlling boot, because of the vagaries of testing. But this (Wheezy) may be better. > Why did you run "grub-install"?

(I > wouldn't have thought that "grub-install" would work. Forgive me. It was "update-grub" and not "grub-install" which I ran in Squeeze. The update process found Ubuntu, so I did not look further. > Do > grub-probe --target=fs_uuid --device /dev/sda7 > and > blkid -c /dev/null /dev/sda7 > return the same value and does it correspond to the UUID in the > "search" and "linux" lines of the Ubuntu entry in grub.cfg? For the record, here is the output from Wheezy: # update-grub Generating grub.cfg ... Found background image: /usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png Found linux image? /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-1-486 Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-1-486 Found Debian GNU/Linux (6.0.2) on /dev/sda5 Found Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS (10.04) on /dev/sda7 done # blkid -c /dev/null /dev/sda1: UUID=" <snip> " SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/sda3: UUID=" <snip> " TYPE="swap" /dev/sda4: UUID=" <snip> " TYPE="ext3" /dev/sda5: UUID=" <snip> " SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/sda6: UUID=" <snip> " TYPE="ext4" /dev/sda7: UUID=" <snip> " SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" # grub-probe --target=fs_uuid --device /dev/sda7 <snip> I did not type the actual UUIDs, because I am transcribing on another machine (not cutting and pasting). The UUID which blkid returns for /dev/sda7 does match the UUID returned by grub-probe. The Ubuntu entries in /boot/grub.cfg refer to /dev/sda7 rather than to the UUID. Now I would like to know why the grub boot menu has five entries for Ubuntu, and how to get rid of three or four of them... Thanks your interest and help.
