Hi there, I have a Debian Lenny running with same setup as the mentioned how to in subject. I have this in /boot/grub/menu.lst Code: # menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8) # grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8), # grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub # and /usr/share/doc/grub-legacy-doc/. default 0 fallback 1 timeout 5 # Pretty colours color cyan/blue white/blue ## ## End Default Options ## title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-amd64 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-amd64 root=/dev/md0 ro quiet initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-amd64 title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-amd64 (single-user mode) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-amd64 root=/dev/md0 ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-amd64 title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-amd64 (hd1) root (hd1,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-amd64 root=/dev/md0 ro quiet initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-amd64 title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-amd64 (hd1)(single-user mode) root (hd1,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-amd64 root=/dev/md0 ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-amd64 ### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST I've noticed that a kernel upgrade changes my menu.lst How do I set the system to automatically have same layout with the fallback settings after a kernel upgrade?
It shouldn't mess with anything at all, just keep adding them to the bottom of hte list. I do think there is a entry that specifies how many old versions should be shown... Here's mine from ubuntu... Code: ## controls how many kernels should be put into the menu.lst ## only counts the first occurence of a kernel, not the ## alternative kernel options ## e.g. howmany=all ## howmany=7 # howmany=all
