Missing kernel

[chadikins]

The other night the new kernel (2.6.27.13) came across adept as a normal upgrade. I downloaded it and somehow messed up on the grub settings menu that comes up after the install. I do not see the new kernel in the grub editor in system settings and don't know any other way to find it. I even tried to download it again but no dice. Uname-a in konsol still shows the 2.6.27.11 kernel.

Thanks

Re: Missing kernel

Basically, you just need to know what the new kernel is, then create an entry for it in the boot menu, /boot/grub/menu.lst.

You can access that file, menu.lst, and see what's there -- post it here if you want.
Also, look in /boot--right under boot--and make sure the new kernel got downloaded there.
(Konqueror or Dolphin, navigate to root / then boot.)

In menu.lst, you can copy the entry for the old kernel, modifying it for the new kernel (changing the numbering/designation.) In menu.lst, the new kernel should be placed immediately after the line
*** BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST.

You must edit menu.lst * as root *, so you might want to open your file manager as root to do this work:
kdesudo konqueror
or
kdesudo dolphin

This is something you can fix (given that the new kernel did download to /boot OK).
