One kernel installed, four grub menu entries?
This one has been driving me batty and I've not figured out the cause of this one yet. On this desktop with Sid installed and grub as the bootloader, for some time (months) update-grub has been adding a Default entry and then repeats the entries again: title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.22-2-686 Default root(hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 apm=off acpi=on ro initrd /boot/initrd.img savedefault title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.22-2-686 Default (recovery mode) root(hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 apm=off acpi=on ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img savedefault title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.22-2-686 root(hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-2-686 root=/dev/hda1 apm=off acpi=on ro initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-2-686 savedefault title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.22-2-686 (recovery mode) root(hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-2-686 root=/dev/hda1 apm=off acpi=on ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-2-686 savedefault On my laptop I also have Sid installed and its grub doesn't do this! I'd be quite happy if the Default entries were never created as they are redundant to me. The update-grub manpage offered no clues. - Nate -- Wireless | Amateur Radio Station N0NB | Successfully Microsoft Amateur radio exams; ham radio; Linux info @ | free since January 1998. http://www.qsl.net/n0nb/ | Debian, the choice of My Kawasaki KZ-650 SR @| a GNU generation! http://www.networksplus.net/n0nb/ | http://www.debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

You could maybe delete these symlinks, as I think theyre supposed to be in / anyway. That would get you down to 2 stanzas for each kernel. A signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I got those symlinks out of /boot and put them in / and my menu.lst is clean once more.
