With this change hopefully coming to Precise, older and no longer used kernels should be deinstalled automatically. The GRUB menu looks like the following with users which are beginners and don't know how to remove the older kernels manually. Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-9-generic Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-9-generic (recovery mode) Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-8-generic Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-8-generic (recovery mode) Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-7-generic Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-7-generic (recovery mode) Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-6-generic Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-6-generic (recovery mode) Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-5-generic Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-5-generic (recovery mode) Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-4-generic Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-4-generic (recovery mode) Every kernel older than 3.2.0-8 (in the above mentioned case) should be removed automatically. Only the "last known good" (0-8) and the newest (0-9) should be seen and be installed. I have seen (new) Ubuntu users, having dozens of kernels with hundreds of gigabyte installed.
