** Description changed:

  The linux kernel 2.6.31-13 was released today for distribution for Karmic 9.10. I downloaded all appropriate updates using Update Manager, However, when instructed to restart upon completion, this kernel did not show up in the grub boot menu. I did some checking, and found that the grub.cfg file had not been updated. I have installed grub 2. I manually generated a grub.cfg file using grub-mkconfig and this new file contained the linux kernel 2.6.31-13. Possibly some post-install scripts were either not run or unsucessfull. 
  1.
  lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
  Release:	9.10
  2.
  apt-cache policy linux-image-generic
  linux-image-generic:
    Installed: 2.6.31.13.24
    Candidate: 2.6.31.13.24
    Version table:
   *** 2.6.31.13.24 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
  apt-cache policy grub
  grub:
    Installed: 0.97-29ubuntu58
    Candidate: 0.97-29ubuntu58
    Version table:
   *** 0.97-29ubuntu58 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
  3. I expect that when a new kernel is released and I update to it and restart that the new kernel will show up in the grub boot menu. This did not occur.
