IIUC he just looked at the /boot/grub/menu.lst of his outdated GRUB, he
might or might not have a /boot/grub/menu.cfg on another partition, but 
obviously he gets those Xubuntu 8.04 kernels when pressing Esc.

@ Mischa, usually there is just a menu.lst or just a menu.cfg in the
path /boot/grub. You might have more, but one partition ;).
