Don’t forget to clean up your old kernels once in a while — they actually chew up quite a bit of space. Its easy, simply complete the following (uname -r will report the current, purge the rest):

sudo bash
cd /boot
uname -r
sudo apt-get remove --purge 2.6.2x-xx-*

Where x refers to old version numbers. Also, if you’re not seeing your latest kernels boot or they’re not showing up in your grub menu during boot, ensure that /etc/kernel-img.conf ends with the following:

postinst_hook = update-grub
postrm_hook = update-grub

Still not seeing your new kernel? Remove your kernel-img and regenerate it with update-grub.

Enjoy…
