Comment 3 for bug 74009

I just noticed something. I'm still on the 2.6.12 kernel (as is shown in the menu.lst excerpt above). With the edgy upgrade, aren't I supposed to be on 2.6.17?

I originally installed Warty on this machine, and have upgraded through every Ubuntu release. The only thing I can remember doing strange is you used to have to install an smp kernel to take advantage of dual processors. I did that way back on warty. For what reason could my kernel not have been upgraded? Will all this udev stuff work with the 2.6.12 kernel?

"ls boot/*17*" shows no files. There's not even a 2.6.17 kernel on the filesystem.

If I do need to be on 2.6.17, is there a way to upgrade a kernel on a system that won't boot? Like using the LiveCD or something?
