kernel

I upgrade my kernel when I run update-grub, these are found Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ... Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-3.4.0-3-generic Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-24-generic-pae Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-24-generic Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-20-generic Found GRUB 2: /boot/grub/core.img Found kernel: /boot/memtest86+.bin Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done

but when run uname -r, the kernel is 3.0.0-20. How can I solve that?

I have seen in some version of Ubuntu that instead of making a huge change to update to the latest kernel, they take some of the good stuff out of it, for the sake of stability and put it on a previous version. In this case, kernel 3.3 has seen some very good power management enhancements that are… >>> More
