Intrepid problem

[Ray Parrish]

I'm a compete noob, and even I know all he has to do now is edit the 
menu.lst file to add the new kernel to one of the boot options. I had 
the same thing happen to me when Hardy updated it's kernel but didn't 
update grub to point at the new one.

gksu gedit & will open your editor in administrative mode so you can 
open and edit the menu.lst file.

Later, Ray Parrish
