(Get the code!)
Milan: Thanks for your response, but that doesn't solve my problem. First, I have newer Grub version, with no menu.lst (grub.cfg takes its place). Second, my Grub config files DO get updated after a new kernel upgrade, but in a way I don't like. That is, new entries are added to Grub boot menu ALONGSIDE the existing ones, instead of REPLACING the older entries.
For example, after the recent kernel upgrade from version 2.6.31-20 to 2.6.31-21, I ended up with both of these kernels being available in the Grub menu. Then I had to uninstall the older version (image and headers) manually to save disk space (~150 MB).
The behavior I'd like to have, is an older kernel automatically being replaced by the upgrade, so that I don't have to perform any additional steps. It all boils down to having selected a wrong option ("keep the local version currently installed") when I was upgrading kernel for the FIRST time. It was a stupid mistake which I don't know how to correct and can't find any information about...
