[Bug 947482] Re: Precise GRUB create several entries of previous versions after installed

[Jorge Antonio Dias Romero]

Thanks Phillip. After a deeper research, i found that grub creates, by
default, entries for all older kernel images , so it's really not a bug.
It's the normal behaviour of grub.

To keep the Grub screen less "polluted" i used a program called "grub-
customizer", to remove some entries, following this tutorial:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1664134. This tip, may be
useful for those who want remove some entries from the initial screen
without delete the kernel images.

Title:
  Precise GRUB create several entries of previous versions after
  installed

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I had the following partitions in my HDD

  /dev/sda1 -> Windows
  /dev/sda5 -> Oneiric 
  /dev/sda6 -> Swap

  I resize (shrink) the windows partition with Gparted and installed
  Precise Beta in a new partition /dev/sda3 (see fdisk -l attached).

  After the installation of Precise, the GRUB loads and works normally,
  but several entries appears. I attached a screenshot of the grub
  screen.

  I have only 3 systems, but the Grub screen have 4 entries for "Ubuntu,
  with Linux with 3.0.0.X" : 3.0.0.16-generic, 3.0.0.15-generic,
  3.0.0.14-generic and 3.0.0.12-generic). All them opens Oneiric (see
  atacched screenshot for better understanding)

  I tried run the command update-grub, but nothing change.

  -What you expected to happen

  I expect to have one entry for each system.

  -What actually happened

  After Precise installation, several entries appeared, all them related
  with the Ubuntu Linux 3.0.0.X.
