Titel: Wrong boot-entried in grub boot-screen after kernel update

I updated my kernel with kernel-update-gui and everything went fine but when I reboot there is still the old kernel listed in grub boot-screen and when I select that one and boot it, it is actualy the new installed kernel.
I even edited menu.list and did grub-update , but still no entry for the new kernel in boot-screen .
How can I solve this?

Can you show me the output of

uname -a

The stable kernel options are listed on the left side panel of this forum

That is the newest stable kernel

Are you saying that when you select a "older kernel" from grub boot menu that the newest stable version still boots ?

I only have "older" kernels in the grub boot menu ,but when I boot default (kernel 2.6.15.6-kanotix-1) it still
boots to newest kernel.
Entrys in menu.list are ok but are not shown on boot screen.

Hmm, very odd. Their not commented out (#older kernels) are they ?

But my boot screen shows something totlay different.

I think I know where the problem lays, I recently had to reinstall grub (http://kanotix.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=19361&highlight=)
I have a seperate partition for /boot (dev/hda1) but I had to copy content of /dev/hda1 to /boot on /dev/hda3 (=root parttion) in order to reinstal grub.
I think boot screen shows content of /dev/hda1 .
How can I check this?
