I believe the problem you are experiencing is that you have not updated the Automagic Kernels List in the grub config. Every time your kernel gets updated, it uses these settings to re-generate your list of kernels. If you edit the Automagic Kernels List which is Located just above the list of ker

This bug seems to be similar to my own experiences, so I'm adding this comment to it. After having my system upgraded yesterday (2009-01-30) using the package linux-image-2.6.22-16-generic_2.6.22-16.61_i386.deb, I found today that it was impossible to boot my computer. Upon selecting any entry in
