Help with editing grub

[z06gal]

to change my default kernel. I am running Mint 12 rc and the 3.0 kernel does not run as well on my laptop as the 2.6.39 kernel. In boot, I have to select the "other linux versions" and find the kernel I want there. I want to boot to that kernel without having to do that so can someone tell me how to do that? Thanks in advance

To set another default kernel that is in the grub2 menu, you can do the followings:

1. take note of which line is the kernel you want to boot on default, says it is 3rd line

2. open /etc/default/grub for editing
modify GRUB_DEFAULT:

3. GRUB_DEFAULT=2
save the file.

4. sudo update-grub
