[ubuntu] aptitude and unwanted upgrade

[Matthew Carpenter]

Mine all do.  Not sure what happened to yours.  
Try mv /boot/grub/menu.lst . 
then update-grub

Then go through the generated menu.lst and make it look as it should (best to 
edit the defaults which are single-commented with one "#"... It's pretty 
self-explanatory.

As for the kernel issue, I typically use Synaptic.  I would try "Force 
Version" on the installed kernel
