Been using Ubuntu on and off since 6.06 and with every release I'm getting closer to making it my main OS (I dual-boot with Windows Vista at the moment, which is my main reason for finally wanting to ditch Windows...) Until now I've always used 32-bit versions of Ubuntu and was happily running 9.10 on this machine. Tonight, though, I decided to do a fresh install and go with the 64-bit version. I was hitherto unaware that my machine would support it, but that turned out not to be the case. What's annoying me is that I have a list of kernels that appear on the GRUB menu that I no longer have installed. Indeed, when I try to boot into any of them, the boot process stops. I deleted all the partitions that Ubuntu originally resided on and recreated them all from scratch, so I can only assume that the grub list that comes up is stored in the MBR, which should, in theory, be on my main windows partition. Back in the old days I was able to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst or something similar... where are the grub configuration files kept these days? There seems to be quite a change in 9.10. Thanks in advance.

There is still a menu file. /boot/grub/grub.conf You should not edit this by hand though. more info here <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275</a> azmodie </div></div>
