grub2 - Latest kernel version number?


I recently upgraded from Lucid Lynx to Maverick. And then there was a kernel update which I installed. Right now when the computer boots up, on the grub boot loader I get 2 options to boot into



  • Linux 2.6.35-22-generic OR

  • Linux 2.6.35-25-generic


I am booting into 2.6.35-25 assuming its newer. But, usually newer kernels are placed higher on the grub menu, but this one is below the 2.6.35-22-generic. [I don't know if that made any sense].


Anyways, which option should I choose? I usually remove older ones using synaptic and keep the latest copy.



The last kernel for Maverick is Linux 2.6.35-22-generic.


Are you sure the other one is 2.6.35-25-generic and not 2.6.32-25-generic (the last Lucid kernel)?
