I am confused about the contents of my grub.conf after a kernel upgrade 
and what I see in the "Boot Menu" when my 2.2 system reboots.

When I boot my system after a kernel upgrade via swup I don't see the 
new kernel as on option in my "Boot Menu".

I have obviously done something wrong and can't see what it is.  Advice 
please?

Details:

I commented the appropriate line in /etc/swup/swup.conf so that it 
contains the following:

#exclude_pkg_regexp = "kernel.*"

I then did a swup --upgrade to upgrade all packages.

/boot now contains the following vmlinuz* entries:

/boot/vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.4.28-7tr
/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.28-7tr
/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.31-6tr
/boot/vmlinuz.old -> vmlinuz-2.4.28-7tr

I edited /boot/grub/grub.conf and it now contains:

.
.
#boot=/dev/hdc
default=0
timeout=10
title Trustix Linux vmlinuz-2.4.31-6tr
         root (hd0,0)
         kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.31-6tr ro root=/dev/md5
         initrd /initrd.img
title Trustix Linux
         root (hd0,0)
         kernel /vmlinuz ro root=/dev/md5
         initrd /initrd.img
title Trustix Linux-old
         root (hd0,0)
         kernel /vmlinuz.old ro root=/dev/md5
         initrd /initrd.img.old


When the machine reboots, the first option in /boot/grub/grub.conf does 
not appear in the "Boot Menu".  Since I do not have any scsi disks, just 
a pair of sw mirrored SATA drives, I did not create a new initrd.img file.

Thanks and regards,
