can grub handle newer kerner rc ?
I am running 3.6.0-rc4 ok, grub update definitely recognizes all required files for rc5, but edit of grub.cfg only shows rc4 after grub-update.
D/N matter whether I generate kernel 3.6.0-rc5 or whether I install the .deb files.
Generating grub.cfg ...

If I press 'e' on boot startup of rc4 and manually change it to rc5 and ctrl-x, it comes up fine.
I just cannot get grub.cfg to update such that rc4 is included.
Thanks, Howard
