[sengottuvelan.s@gmail.com (Sengottuvelan S)]

Hi Srinivas,

Even doing update-grub command , I was not able to see new menu-entry
in /boot/grub/grub.cfg . Somehow , "update-grub"  not catching "*
initrd-img-2.6.35.9-custom"*  in the boot

Any help on this highly appreciated

root at ubuntu:/boot# ls
abi-2.6.32-24-generic         memtest86+.bin
config-2.6.32-24-generic      System.map-2.6.32-24-generic
config-2.6.35.9               System.map-2.6.35.9
grub                          vmcoreinfo-2.6.32-24-generic
initrd.img-2.6.32-24-generic  vmlinuz-2.6.32-24-generic
*initrd-img-2.6.35.9-custom*    vmlinuz-2.6.35.9
initrd-img-kernel-2.6.35.9
