Package: grub2 Version: 1.96+20090317-1 Severity: normal When you've kernels from different kernel trees (like -next, -wl, linux-2.6, ...) the names do not fit into the sorting algorithm of update-grub2 (also true for update-grub).
Thus the most recently installed kernel is *not* listed at the top: Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.29-wl-36123-g39fb448 Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.29-next-20090331 Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.29-next-20090324 Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.29-06608-g15f7176 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.29-06608-g15f7176 is newer than /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.29-next-20090324. The obvious fix is to sort by mtime (ls -t1). All other algorithm trying to guess which prefix is newer or older will fail sooner or later.
