You may have too many kernels.  In grub there is a setting to only use a
specified number of kernels.  I had this back on a 9.xx distribution.
Either remove your older kernels (using the package manager / apt-get) or
increase the number of kernels that grub will look for by editing the grub
config file (I'd have to google this, as I cant remember exactly).

I remember that in the older distribution grub started with the earliest
kernels first, so the new ones never showed up.
