I was looking at my /boot/grub/menu.lst and noticed something extremely interesting: The first line does not boot; the second line does boot.
This one locks up the box: title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-26-386 Default root (hd0,2) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3 ro vga=0x323 quiet splash savedefault boot This one boots the box: title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-26-386 root (hd0,2) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-386 root=/dev/hda3 ro vga=0x323 quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-26-386 savedefault I just noticed the absence of the version# in the parameters line. This line is auto-generated. Duh! Somehow it did not get auto-generated correctly. The difference between the two statements is the 18JUL06 update to linux-image-2.6.26. Confirmation? Just take a look at the lines. :-) lol I missed it, earlier. -- Booting w/new kernel impossible https://launchpad.net/bugs/53492 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
