I needed to do something similar because the virtualbox module packages don't seem to keep up with kernel releases). Here's what I did. - edit /boot/grub/menu.lst ( alt-F2 and type 'gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst') - scroll down until you find the entry you want (it will begin with a line that reads "title Ubuntu kernel 8.10.1 2.6.24-16-generic") - Highlight that and the next four lines (the whole block, there should be a blank line after it) and copy to clipboard - Scroll back up until you see "### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST", paste the lines you copied directly above that. Save and exit the editor. 2008/11/30 Ron Dean <rvdean(a)ihug.co.nz>:
I installed a win modem and have got it to work with ubuntu 8.04 however the driver only works with kernel 2.6.24-16-generic. How do I get it to boot up all the time with this kernel so that he doesn't need to make a choice from the grub boot menu where I have newer kernels installed.
