This is not a big problem (and is probably not a problem at all), but... a while back when I firsed installed Debian (December, 2004, I think) I had Linux kernel 2.4 and whenever I turned on my computer, Grub came up and had two options. They said something like
GNU/Linux Kernel 2.4.27-1-386 GNU/Linux Kernel 2.4.27-1-386 [recovery-mode] All fine and correct, this is. Later, however, I installed a Debian package (kernel-build-2.6, I think) and restarted the computer. When it restarted, Grub displayed the following. GNU/Linux Kernel 2.6.8-2-386 GNU/Linux Kernel 2.6.8-2-386 [recovery-mode] GNU/Linux Kernel 2.4.27-1-386 GNU/Linux Kernel 2.4.27-1-386 [recovery-mode] It automatically loaded into kernel 2.6 and to this day (this all took place a few months ago) all works fine. Also, if I run boot-admin (as root, of course) I can delete any one of the choices. The bottom line is, is it normal to have two parallel kernels installed (is that even what is happening?) I am just curious as my computer works fine. Thank you, Leonid
