Removing GRUB Entries

[DetroitBaseball 0]

Hello, everytime I update my Ubuntu kernel, another entry is created on GRUB. How should I go about removing some entries? I think I can edit the menu.lst file and remove them, but I want to make sure I do it right.

 

## ## End Default Options ##

 

title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-26-686

root (hd0,2)

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-686 root=/dev/sda3 ro quiet splash

initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-26-686

savedefault

boot

 

title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-26-686 (recovery mode)

root (hd0,2)

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-686 root=/dev/sda3 ro single

initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-26-686

boot

 

title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-26-386

root (hd0,2)

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-386 root=/dev/sda3 ro quiet splash

initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-26-386

savedefault

boot

 

title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-26-386 (recovery mode)

root (hd0,2)

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-386 root=/dev/sda3 ro single

initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-26-386

boot

 

title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-23-386

root (hd0,2)

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-23-386 root=/dev/sda3 ro quiet splash

initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-23-386

savedefault

boot

 

title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-23-386 (recovery mode)

root (hd0,2)

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-23-386 root=/dev/sda3 ro single

initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-23-386

boot

 

title Ubuntu, memtest86+

root (hd0,2)

kernel /boot/memtest86+.bin

boot

 

### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST

 

I want to remove the 386 ones, leaving 686 and memtest.

In Ubuntu, you can manually remove the Grub entriee, but this still leaves the actual older kernel-image instact on your system. Best to follow the suggestions noted on this thread] to do so.

 

But, make sure that your current (new) kernel is working properly first!

 

The older kernel entries are left there for a reson, if the new kernel fails for some reason, you have a fallback.

 

If you want to still manually edit the menu.lst file, I think the correct terminal command would be;

 

gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst as root user.

Does uninstalling the kernel from Synaptic remove the entry from GRUB as well?

Nevermind, I already took care of this. Solved. Thanks.
