grub menu entry is not updated to 17.3 after upgrade from 17.2

[tyler]

1. I am now running Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa Cinnamon Edition 64-bit.

2. I had upgraded from Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela Cinnamon Edition 64-bit to Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa Cinnamon Edition 64-bit using the upgrade available from the Update Manager. However, the Grub menu entry still shows Linux Mint 17.2. This still is the case even after running the command: "sudo update-grub". It is also not fixed by running: "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" or "sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sda". I installed the new kernel 3.19.0-32-generic, and the menu still says 17.2.

3. Grub shows "Linux Mint 17.2 Cinnamon 64-bit" as a menu entry and boots to 17.3. There do not appear to be any other problems.

4. Grub should show "Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon 64-bit".

5. Grub always shows 17.2. Others have had this issue. See the comments section of "http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=2955"
