I just upgraded 9.04 to 9.10

System still boots the old kernel 2.6.28-13-generic instead of current one 2.6.31..

If I run reinstall of linux-image for 2.6.13 then grub says it updated menu.lst, but it did not.

Lets look:

uname -a
Linux lcwood 2.6.28-13-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 30 22:12:12 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[...]
Testing for an existing GRUB menu.lst file ... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst
Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ...
[...]
Found kernel: /vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic
Found kernel: /vmlinuz-2.6.28-13-generic
Found kernel: /memtest86+.bin
Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done
[...]

And then:

root@lcwood:~# cat /boot/grub/menu.lst | grep 31
root@lcwood:~#
so nothing.

Attaching full output of installer on reinstall, and full menu.lst after that.
