Basically it's asking do you want the system to update menu.lst with 
your new kernel or not. If you accept the package maintainers choice you 
may have to re-edit some of your preferences back, although normally 
most are automagically carried forward. If you keep your version you 
will need to add the new kernels themselves.

PS I've fixed your title - I read this thinking there was some major new 
problem.  Please be more careful and precise with your titles in future. 
Thanks!!
