Phillip Susi, why is this invalid?  Ubuntu isn't working the way it is
stated to?

Title:
  raring grub-pc does not allow choice of stock kernel vs mainline
  kernel

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Grub2 can't choose kernels
  Grub2 does not allow choice of "mainline kernel" vs. stock Ubuntu kernel.

  In:

  ttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds?action=show&redirect=KernelMainline
  Builds

  it says:

  "The mainline kernels have their own ABI namespace so they install
  side by side with the stock Ubuntu kernels (each kernel has a separate
  directory under /lib/modules/VERSION for example). This means that you
  can keep several mainline and Ubuntu stock kernels installed at the
  same time and select the one you need from the GRUB boot menu."

  Here's from /boot:

  Jan  9 22:44 config-3.8.0-030800rc3-generic
  Jan 15 16:01 config-3.8.0-0-generic

  Now in fact /boot/grub/grub.cfg does show entries for both kernels,
  but the Grub2 menu on boot does not show the stock Ubuntu kernel or
  allow choosing it.

  How do I get Grub2 boot menu to display all the kernels that are in
  grub.cfg?

  Thanks....btw, amd64
