Thanks, it explains why shit happens but I think it should be patched or configured somewhere. It's user's choice how he wants his boot menu to be organized. I prefer to have only the latest kernel on the list especially in multi boot environment where each OS adds few cents to the menu. Then I have this advanced submenu in case of special boot requirements with more installed and kept for safety kernels. I totally don't know about setting up and using grub password because this kid of security method is IMHO outdated comparing to disk encryption. Mateusz Marzantowicz
