[Bug 982425] Re: grub don't update entries on Kernel update

[Renato S. Yamane]

Today I see a new kernel update, so I install it:

$ aptitude search linux-image | grep ^i
i A linux-image-3.2.0-23-generic    - Linux kernel image for version 3.2.0 on 64
i A linux-image-3.2.0-24-generic    - Linux kernel image for version 3.2.0 on 64

But, on Grub entries I see only 3.2.0-24-generic

$ ls -l /boot/
total 58916

Title:
  grub don't update entries on Kernel update

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On every Kernel updates, my grub show only the last one version on
  bootloader.

  E.g.:
  I has installed:
  linux-image-3.2.0-18-generic
  linux-image-3.2.0-19-generic
  linux-image-3.2.0-20-generic
  linux-image-3.2.0-21-generic
  linux-image-3.2.0-22-generic
  linux-image-3.2.0-23-generic

  But on bootloader I see only the version linux-image-3.2.0-23-generic

  IF I have a problem on Kernel update, I cannot boot the computer with
  the old kernel (this is possible only if I edit entries by my
  hands)... Users must have this option automatically.
