Normally a new kernel does not remove the old one so it should appear in the advanced bootoptions menu.
Hope you noticed that and don't need to remove/reinstall the kernel all the time.
Also make sure if you have a seperate boot partition that it has enough free space otherwise initramfs creation might not work.
For what I know you need to make sure that manually. There is no way on Ubuntu/Neon currently to check or remove old kernels automatically if /boot is too full.
Not currently at the machine but allow me ask for clarification. You want me to boot up using 4.4.0-34-generic( the old kernel & the one that works), open terminal and issue: "sudo update-initramfs -u -k 4.4.0-36-generic" ? Man pages say I can use "-k specific kernel" or "-k ALL" for all kernels.
The new kernel did not remove any older kernel but I did receive a notice that 4.4.0-33-generic was unneeded. I don't regularly remove older kernels & always keep the last one prior to new kernel update.
I do have a separate boot it's: /dev/sda1 --- I'll use "df -h" when home to check space.
Once I'm back at the machine, I'll do this and post the results. Thanks.
