grub shows same linux image twice
After a recent update, I get multiple entries for same linux kernel version in the boot menu. I have tried running update-grub2
but it also lists the same linux-image version twice i.e
adnan@adnan-laptop:/boot$ sudo update-grub2
Generating grub.cfg ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-26-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-26-generic
Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-26-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-26-generic
Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin
done
As you can see vmlinuz and initrd are found multiple times. But there is only one vmlinuz and initrd file in /boot
adnan@adnan-laptop:/boot$ ls -l
total 15120

Can some one tell me why does update-grub2 finds vmlinuz and initrd twice? and how to stop this from happening.
UPDATE: Find grub.cfg here
Solution 1:
How I thought, you had two linux image finder in /etc/grub.d
, remove one, the right list is:
00_header
05_debian_theme
10_linux
20_memtest86+
30_os-prober
40_custom
These scripts looks for OS-s when you update the grub.
