Public bug reported: Binary package hint: grub
I have upgraded from an Ubuntu hardy to an Intrepid, using the standard procedue. After rebooting, I discovered that the system was very slow and went to freeze after a few hours of work (see this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/374284). The problem was that grub, after the upgrade, selected an 'rt' kernel as default option, and any rt kernel I have tried works very badly on my computer. After manually reconfiguring grub and selecting again a normal kernel, the system was run smoothly. I believe this issue is more common than what believed. Many newbies report that their systems 'suck and are very slow' after a dist upgrade, therefore they usually uninstall the distro or abandon Ubuntu. So, after an upgrade grub should never select a kernel of the different type than the one it is running: if I am running a i386 kernel, the new option should be another i386, and the same for rt and any other type of kernel. ** Affects: grub (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- grub: after an upgrade, it shouldn't launch an rt kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/384231 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
