Actually, I think submenus are the perfect solution for this bug. I'm
going to mark both this bug and Daniel's new bug as duplicates of bug

I agree that simply removing the old kernels from the list is the ideal
solution. However, if that is not implemented, continuing to have a long
list of multiple kernels on the grub menu is very confusing to casual
users.
Is it possible to implement something like Alexander Lancey mentioned
Making GRUB have those submenus would be a nice solution, but it is too
complicated for a bug report here. I would discuss it somewhere else.

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue. However, it would not be
helpful to tell users what kernel was updated last during boot. Adding more
technical text to something that is already too technical is only going to make
things more confusing.
The average users does not know what a
Question: In Maverick 10.10, what is the default number of kernels
displayed in grub? If update manager installs a new kernel, will the old
kernel still show up in the grub list?

Also, for people who don't follow #241368 - my script to implement

I wasn't aware that grub could have hidden entries. If it can, that
would be the best option. Having just one entry per operating system,
with an option below to list more kernels would be ideal.

Something in /etc/grub.d/10_linux might do the trick ?

What about just not showing the kernel choice? The topmost is mostly
right anyway.
If you are a normal user, have a stable system and install tested
kernels, you are not likely to need to choose at all. Seeing this dialog
every time on startup (with a countdown and a list of choices) will make
a
I'd love to see a config that flips the Grub list between all kernels,
like now, and OSs only (newest kernel from each). We shouldn't remove
the ability to make a full list, but I really doubt the average users
needs to run a backup kernel, ever.
