Comment 156 for bug 477169

I thought as follows (I am no informatic expert at all): when you upgrade the kernel the system fails to reboot. Notwithstanding, if you reinstall and the first you do is run aptitude-update, aptitude-upgrade (on clean install whit wubi) all works and system reboots without problems. I was wandering why? My answer was that on a clean install, system needs to upgrade no only the kernel but also grub (from beta3 which is included in the iso to the beta4) and the grub upgrade takes place only after kernel upgrade. So, my logical (not technical) conclusion is that grub upgrade after kernel upgrade permits upgrade kernel and reboot normally. Therefore I tried to do it manually after installing kernel update (.....16-53 generic) and I am writing this post from the rebooted system (I didi it 2 times)!!! Really I don't know if it's been a casuality. I will keep trying. Hope this can help.
