2 kernels on start up
 

Ok, I installed Debian (lenny ) on my computer. I did an apt-get update,
apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade. After that I run into this at start up:
The computer is asking for what kernel to use

I understand that kernel 2.6.26-1-686 is the stable version. Now I want to get back to this and remove 2.6.26-2-686. How will I do this?

Remove the option from menu.lst file in /boot/grub. It would not show the option in boot menu after that.

Hi igsen,
You are quite wrong. The current Lenny kernel is: In any event you don't have to remove anything. If you really want to run the 2.6.26-1-686 kernel then just select that when the grub menu comes up on bootup.
If you really want to remove a kernel-image then
should do the job.

I was able to find this file thru root terminal and about to delete the the other kernel but I reconsider when I saw jdkaye's post. thanks!

The kernel is occasionally updated, even in stable, usually to fix security issues. This is normal. You will not see the kernel minor number (.26.) increase unless you specifically install a later kernel, but you will see the revision change (-2-).

Hi igsen,
At this point I would suggest you stick with the 2.6.26-2 on your grub menu. If you have any problems with it (I've been running it for a while now and I don't have any) you can always switch back to 2.6.26-1.
cheers,
