Can you give the output of:

uname -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image-2

Thanks

ok, run:

gedit /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober

What is output?

The update failed with the same message of a subprocess failure,
watching the messages it was grub related.

I have a 2nd disk which can boot with XP as a primary if I swap the disk
cables, otherwise I can select from grub. I had to make a change to a
grub config to get this to work, but afterward updates seemed to work.

When I run the command it opens grub.d in gedit and puts me to this
location, where the disk swap lines are located

EOF
      save_default_entry | sed -e "s/^/\t/"
      prepare_grub_to_access_device ${DEVICE} | sed -e "s/^/\t/"

      case ${LONGNAME} in

It's a big of a bigger file than that. Can you paste the WHOLE file

Thanks

I believe I changed this section of grub.cfg back when I updated from
9.10 to 10.04

### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
menuentry "Microsoft Windows XP Professional (on /dev/sdb2)" {

It's a big of a bigger file than that. Can you paste the WHOLE file

Thanks

Can you give the output of:

ls /etc/grub.d/

Why do you have so many os-prober files?

Not sure, teh *.old are ones I copied. I believe the change I made was
to the 30-os_prober script to reflect the disk image swap for booting
into XP.

Which ones are needed, just 30-os_prober? I can move the other into a
folder and run the grub refresh config command, does this sound useful?

Try:

sudo mv /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober.save ~; sudo update-grub

Is it cleaner?

After moving all the other 30 files to a new folder I get the following
from grub-update, which I expect has fixed the issue, as this was the
sequence that seemed to cause the problem??

Thanks again for all your help

sudo update-grub

can you now boot to the newest kernel?

Yes, all the updates have cleared and I've removed one older image that didn't install completely with Ubuntu Tweak.

Thanks again for the help and pointing me in the proper direction!
