To answer your questions, yes I did modify my grub menu.lst configuration with the grub editor I had installed with Ubuntu 9.04. I edited out some of the older kernels that were listed. When I upgraded to 9.10 I was asked if I wanted to keep my menu.lst configuration and I answered yes as I have a dual-boot system with Windows XP on another hard drive and I didn't want to loose access to that OS. When I found out that the reason I had no sound was because the kernel did not update I tried installing the 2.6.31.5 kernel that according to linux.org was the latest stable version. That did not install properly but in the process my grub/menu.lst file got updated with the correct kernel that I needed (2.6.31.14-generic). How that happened I don't know but I'm using that kernel now and everything seems to be working fine. I have sound, video, internet. I still want to edit the menu.lst file to remove the 2.6.31.5 kernel that I don't need. I've gotten conflicting advice on how to do that. The grub editor app that came with 9.04 worked great. Why was that eliminated? Daniel Than
