Way back in November '09 we had a discussion about editing the Grub Menu, which I must have used successfully, but don't think I could have repeated. Now I have a menu with so many 'old' versions of the kernel that the bottom entries are off the bottom of the screen box.
Looking into https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 and picking out the needed bits, here is how to trim down that menu list. 1. in /boot, there are three entries for each revision of the kernel. examples: abi-2.6.32-25-generic initrd.img-2.6.32-25-generic vmcoreinfo-2.6.32-25-generic abi-2.6.35-22-generic initrd.img-2.6.35-22-generic vmcoreinfo-2.6.35-22-generic config-2.6.35-24-generic System.map-2.6.35-24-generic vmlinuz-2.6.35-24-generic Note there are different files for different versions - improvements I guess. I left the 35-27 and 35-28 versions in. 2. Move the unwanted versions to somewhere else. 3. sudo update-grub Takes a minute or two 4. reboot to prove it works. It did for me.
