** Description changed: I had 2.6.35-25 installed on a few machines, and found it wasn't really - what I needed, and wanted to go back to 2.6.23-xx, so I just uninstalled + what I needed, and wanted to go back to 2.6.32-xx, so I just uninstalled (apt-get remove --purge) the 2.6.35 image. This ran grub-update as normal. After reboot, grub tried and failed to start 2.6.35-25. Rebooting on a rescue CD showed /boot/grub/grub.cfg was the same old one since I installed 2.6.35-25. Running grub-update manually didn't change this either. The fix was to run grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg directly, even though the documentation at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 says this is done with grub- update. I think this needs to be fixed, because without it, it may render a system unbootable. If grub-update could be made to check for the presence of the kernel files, or perhaps just run grub-mkconfig for each update, that'd be preferable. roy ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: grub-pc (not installed) ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-33.72-server 2.6.32.41+drm33.18 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-33-server x86_64 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Aug 25 09:26:38 2011 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Server 10.04.2 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release amd64 (20110211.1) ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/csh SourcePackage: grub2
