Could someone tell me if I can uninstall kernel 2.6.26.5 as long as 2.6.24 is working. THen updte from there back to new kerner, hoping that will fix it. The only thing I get out of it is that a proc/mod/ file is missing. Thank you

I installed new kernal 2.6.27 today it wont boot either. They both tell me when it tries to boot that moduals are missing and that/dev/disk/byuuid/10289379-166c-4f25-a5c3-6619d598566 does not exist. checked it out and its not there.has same no.s for 26 and 27The kernels that will boot have different uuid nombers. 26 and 27 have same nos. Everything elsle shows correct . shows roots as sdo and points to sdo1 where ubuntu is installed. I am running a different linux os on a different artition Could this be affecting grub. They both se same grub. I installed ubuntu last and its is set at default. How can I make grub recognise ubuntu.Thanks for any help I can get. By the way This alpha is the best one yet. The only other problems I am having or jus what ubuntu said to watch for no majr crashes. Thank you again
