Hi Mick, Somehow you've upgraded the kernel package and skipped the step where a new Grub bootloader entry is created. As Quentin says, removing and reinstalling the 2.6.21 should do the trick. You should then have Grub entries for both kernels, and can thereby switch back to booting 2.6.17 if it works better for you. Cheers!

Try reinstalling

Remove, reboot and reinstall the .21 kernel. Should do it... Cheers

Can anyone help with this? I don't have .21 as a choice on bootup... I can only load kernel .17..
