So, I'm trying to clean up my grub with it's options of kernels. In my grub menu, I have many kernel options. If I just check to see what kernel images exist, it's just 3.19, which according to the package manager is the recommended kernel for my system.
Code: Select all
brian # uname -r
3.19.0-32-generic
Dater brian # dpkg --list | grep linux-image
ii linux-image-3.19.0-32-generic 3.19.0-32.37~14.04.1 amd64 Linux kernel image for version 3.19.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii linux-image-extra-3.19.0-32-generic 3.19.0-32.37~14.04.1 amd64 Linux kernel extra modules for version 3.19.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
But if I update grub:
Code: Select all
brian # sudo update-grub

I'm simply trying to clean up my grub menu options so that when booting, grub automatically selects kernel 3.19 (which in this case is the only kernel I want, anyway).
I see if I go to /boot/grub/grub.cfg, I see a whole list of mentions of different kernels.
Any advice how to reconcile and clean this up?
