upgrade failed to update grub

[HowardG]

I have just been through an upgrade to kubuntu 9.10. I'm a bit puzzled.

A new kernel 2.6.31-14-generic, as expected, has appeared in /boot, 2.6.31-14 has appeared in /lib/modules and /usr/src contains linux-headers-2.6.31-14 and linux-headers-2.6.31-14-generic. BUT my most recent kernel, 2.6.28.15 has apparently dissappeared and the system has booted with2.6.28.11 which I think was the 9.04 build kernel.

There is clearly some change in desktop appearance so I think KDE has changed.

I will try 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' as suggested on installation web site

If that doesn't work I'll try to update grub myself.

Any suggestions welcome.

Hi,

Grub is now updated but not made bootable (I installed on a separate
partition)
