I have two Linux versions on this computer; Debian testing and Kubuntu. Debian is my main system. Kubuntu is a backup system.
Debian's GRUB controls the boot process. Like any other Debian based system, Kubuntu updates the kernel. I now have these kernels in Kubuntu: 2.6.22-14-generic, 2.6.24-19-generic, and 2.6.24-22-generic. Debian's GRUB boots the 2.6.22-14 kernel. I would like it to boot 2.6.24-22. Debian's menu.lst has the following entry pertaining to Kubuntu: title Kubuntu (on /dev/hdb3) root (hd1,2) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=/dev/hdb3 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic savedefault boot If I use vi to change 2.6.22-14 to either one of the two newer Kubuntu kernels, it doesn't work. What happens is that the boot process starts, but hangs. It hangs before it gets to the message about initiating scripts. If I go back and use vi to change Debian's menu.lst back to the 2.6.22-14 kernel, then Kubuntu can then once again boot. (In other words I haven't totally mangled things with vi.) I checked Kubuntu's /boot/grub and all of the kernels have the same permissions. I just can't get Debian's GRUB to boot the newer Kubuntu kernels. Can anyone solve this puzzle? Thank you.
