SOVED Kubuntu Trying to Boot to a Virtual Kernel ???

[mhumm2]

After I installed VitualBox, my system kept attempting to boot to a virtual kernel. The only way I could override this was to press Esc and select the correct Generic kernel from the list. How do I make the Generic kernel the default again and delete the virtual kernel selections from the list? Are these list items similar to Windoze restore points? Please Help.

Hi,

sound strange. VirtualBox woks inside standard system after you boot up kernel. Are you sure, it is VirtualBox that is causing you a problem?

No, absolutely not! I agree VB is only another application that runs AFTER Kubuntu boots. What can I do to find out and, in the mean time, how do I change the default boot kernel ?

Re: Kubuntu Trying to Boot to a Virtual Kernel

This thread is solved! I took a look at my files system and found /boot/grub/menu.lst file. This entry was the 3rd one down the list:

title		Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-21-generic 
root	    (hd0,0)
kernel	/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-21-generic root=UUID=6a03aef4-d6dd-4d0f-b0d4-b9624ec2bec3 ro quiet splash
initrd	/boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-21-generic
quiet

And this one was the default (top of the list) before I changed the order:

title		Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-21-virtual 
root		(hd0,0)
kernel	/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-21-virtual root=UUID=6a03aef4-d6dd-4d0f-b0d4-b9624ec2bec3 ro quiet splash
initrd	/boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-21-virtual
quiet

I wonder if I should delete the virtual entries entirely.

It's harmless when not booted.
