How do I update menu.lst for the new kernel

Asked by tadiv on 2008-10-15

This morning there was a new kernel update and I made the mistake of selecting "use existing menu.lst" so now menu.lst has no data in it for the new kernel... How can I get the updated info into menu.lst?

Thanks,
Tom

Simple, run

update-grub

after you've upgraded your kernel.

Oddly, I had to rename the old menu.lst as while "sudo update-grub" would replace the file, it replaced it with the exact old version... "sudo mv menu.lst menu.lst.old" followed by "sudo update-grub" (and answering "y" to "do you want to create a new menu.lst?") got the job done...

Thanks much!!
