Hi Folks,

I joined this list a couple of weeks ago, and tonight I've had my first
reason to post something. Been using Ubuntu on and off since 6.06 and with
every release I'm getting closer to making it my main OS (I dual-boot with
Windows Vista at the moment, which is my main reason for finally wanting to
ditch Windows...)

Until now I've always used 32-bit versions of Ubuntu and was happily running
9.10 on this machine. Tonight, though, I decided to do a fresh install and
go with the 64-bit version. I was hitherto unaware that my machine would
support it, but that turned out not to be the case.

What's annoying me is that I have a list of kernels that appear on the GRUB
menu that I no longer have installed. Indeed, when I try to boot into any of
them, the boot process stops. I deleted all the partitions that Ubuntu
originally resided on and recreated them all from scratch, so I can only
assume that the grub list that comes up is stored in the MBR, which should,
in theory, be on my main windows partition.

Back in the old days I was able to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst or something
similar... where are the grub configuration files kept these days? There
seems to be quite a change in 9.10.

Thanks in advance.

Gus
