Oh no ! My Aspire One with xubuntu 8.04 LTS crashes again with the 2.6.24-24.60 kernel version. I was so happy with the two intermediate versions: 2.6.24-24.46 and 2.6.24.24.52 (sorry I am not so sure about the right release numbers). But let me tell the whole story; after my participation on this blob #50 I have deleted the 2.6.24-23 entry from the system. Two kernel updates have followed: .46 and .52, both without any crash. I was so happy ... Each of these updates overwrote the previous 2.6.24-24-generic entry in the boot file (i.e. menu.lst). After the last update (.60), yesterday, the boot crash has appeared again ! At this point, please could anyone answer to the following questions:
1) How can I rollback to the previous kernel: 2.6.24.24.52 ? Is this the correct release number ?
2) How can I preserve the kernel entry in the boot file (menu.lst) ?
3) Why were the two releases (.46 and .52) automatically overwritten? Can I do something to avoid this in the future ?
4) Are you aware of this problem or is mine only ?
Thanks in advance,
Kuba
