Hi
Each time a new kernel is installed you will have to reload your Graphics Drivers.
So at the command line where the install stops, type sudo envy -t
and choose the driver to be installed.
Then run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, and usually it is a matter of accepting most of the commands, and assuming you have nvidia choose nv, and set screen resolution to your requirments

Hi
To remove the old Kernel from your boot screen you can edit the grub file,
gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
You should make a backup of old grub file first.
Just comment out the line you do not want, by putting a # in front of it
I never answered

To remove the old Kernel you can also remove it of your system with Synaptic. That will update Grub.
The only “problem†is with the case where your installation crashes. You will not be able to return more to a preceding kernel if the current crashes.

I'm going through the forum now (to get an overview of not only my own posts)
You can't have both nvidia and ATI in the same computer (well - you can, but that's another story)
Vesa almost always works but is really crappy and you may have messed up your X....(server - not partner
)
vesa is always there...
You are a noob, so...
Fire up Envy (from the menu) and uninstall all you can. Then let it install the driver for your card, and it's good at selecting the right driver, but you should at least check that it installs nvidia if you have that and ATI if you have that. If you have another brand it becomes more complicated
This should give you the benefit of good video drivers
You may also have to run
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
from a terminal
Oh dear...I tried to install both ATI and Nvidia drivers and to configure the X server with ati, nv and nvidia, but every time the system told me "Failed to start the X server....".
I finally tried to set up the X server with vesa and it finally worked well.
