[Bug 53492] Re: Booting w/new kernel impossible

I was looking at my /boot/grub/menu.lst and noticed something extremely
interesting:  The first line does not boot; the second line does boot.

This one locks up the box:
title           Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-26-386 Default
root            (hd0,2)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3 ro vga=0x323 quiet splash
savedefault
boot


This one boots the box:
title           Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-26-386
root            (hd0,2)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-386 root=/dev/hda3 ro vga=0x323 quiet splash
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-26-386
savedefault

I just noticed the absence of the version# in the parameters line.  This
line is auto-generated.  Duh!  Somehow it did not get auto-generated
correctly.

The difference between the two statements is the 18JUL06 update to
linux-image-2.6.26.

Confirmation?  Just take a look at the lines. :-) lol  I missed it,
earlier.
