Kubuntu 8.10 Kernel 27.11 noShow in grub

[miciurin]

Is this a bug or not?
I am used to Linux kernel updates showing up in Grub at boot time. However, the latest update to 27.11 does not show up at all at boot time. It still showing the 27.7

Is there something to be changed manually for the latest linux kernel to become operational?

Post your /boot/grub/menu.lst file for a review.

Thanks for the reply. Here is the file (I have a dual boot with Vista).

Hi!
I have the same problem after upgrading from 8.10 9.04(and I do think I had it going from 8.04 to 8.10 also).
I tried running sudo update-grub and it found the new version and saying it updated menu.lst but in fact it did not. Any ideas about this out there?
