Latest kernel image not displayed in Lucid Ubuntu 10.04

Asked by Rajinder Sandhu

Hi All,
Seems to be another problem with GRUB2 as kernel 2.6.32-10-generic although the kernel is installed on the machine. The kernel is not displayed into boot menu. It is not getting updated automatically by update-grub also. Any suggestions please ?

My OS Ubuntu has the following details:

Release : 10.04 build (Lucid)
Kernel: Lucid 2.6.32-7-Generic
Gnome 2.29.4

Although it is not going to help still here is hardware details:
Processor AMD Athlon XP 2000+
Memory 749.4 MiB

Thanks,
Rajinder

I suggest you log a bug to get this resolved, kernels should be added to grub automatically.

First off, Lucid is current alpha.
When installing test release, one should know how to solve occuring issues.

> kernel is not displayed into boot menu

Might depend on config in /etc/default/grub, such as hiddenmenu, timeout.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2

In case there is a separate boot partition check whether /boot/grub/grub.cfg is correct,
e.g.
two slashes are wrong, one is correct:
linux //vmlinuz-2.6.32-10-generic(-pae) root=UUID=....
initrd //initrd.img-2.6.32-10-generic(-pae)

However, updating hourly fixes mostly occuring issues.
