[karmic] kernel upgrade from jaunty don't refresh grub entry

[Victor Vargas]

Binary package hint: update-manager

Upgrading from Jaunty to Karmic release install kernel 2.6.31.4 package but in grub registry still appear old versions that I had in jaunty (2.6.28-13), synaptic said that I have been installed new kernel version but I think some script don't refresh grub entries.

Steps to reproduce this:

1) Have ubuntu Jaunty
2) Upgrade to Karmic
3) Reboot your computer and look grub menu, haven't any entry for kernel 2.6.31.4
4) Check your installed packages (look for kernel package , if is installed)

Behavior that I Expected
* Install a grub entry for kernel 2.6.31.4 version and boot from that version, not old ones.

I have heard a report of this happening but it is obviously not biting systems consistently. The problem must be triggered by something specific on the system. I know it's been a while but please archive the following directory and attach it to the bug (dist-upgrade.tar.gz):

/var/log/dist-upgrade

Hey peter, thank for reply, but unfortunately I can't submit more log files because I am working in Jaunty (yes, I am back) for works in my desktop tasks (Wireless card don't work as expect in that opportunity), but I have to try with Karmic Beta and check if this issue was fixed or not.

Hi,

I had this problem too, but it was combined with the upgrade uninstalling grub 2 and reinstalling grub 1 (see bug 449679). Once I had reinstalled grub 2 all was ok. Could this be the same problem?

Cheers, Jamie
