Hi,

I use Linux Mint's boot splash screen, so this is what I did for my particular situation.

This happened yesterday for me as well after doing some updates, which included an opensuse kernel update, and doing a reboot, I got to the Mint Boot splash menu and it still showed OpenSuse's old kernel 2.6.27.21-0.1. Selecting opensuse gave me an error 18, file not found, I think.

I have Windows XP, Linux Mint Gnome, Pardus 2008.2 KDE, and OpenSuse11.1 two on one hard drive, two on the second hard drive.

I had to do some simple menu.lst editing to show the latest kernel for opensuse.

I rebooted into Mint. Then clicked on computer that showed the partition file systems. Mounted opensuse. Opened /boot/ and could see the latest kernel with the various files like vmllinux, intrd, system map, etc. Showing 2.6.27.23-0.1. I copied the kernel number. Of course, I could have also made a note of the kernel number during the opensuse update process, but I didn't..

Then in Mint Gnome terninal:
gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst (enter password)
and under opensuse section, everywhere it had the old kernel listed I pasted the new kernel. Save.
Reboot and out of Mint boot splash select opensuse and it comes up.

I'll have to look into the links swerdna provided, as it would be nice if Mint automatically detected the kernel change. It does detect other operating systems, including Linux, during install and adds it to the menu.lst,
