After update (yesterday) from Ubuntu 12.04, GRUB has two of the same kernels in the boot menu for Ubuntu 12.04 (I have triple boot). I have already reinstalled GRUB, but with the same result. It seems to me that something is going wrong in update-grub:

Generating grub.cfg ...

Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-24-generic-pae

Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-24-generic-pae

Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-24-generic-pae

Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-24-generic-pae

Found Windows Vista (loader) on /dev/sda2

Found Ubuntu 11.04 (11.04) on /dev/sda7

done

There is no problem for boot but this is not nice. Solution?

Finally I found the reason why. Sometime ago I made some changes to the file /etc/grubd.d/10_linux . For security reasons I made a copy of this file (.bak). This file was still executable. It has never caused problems till the last update of the system. The only thing I had to do was a chmod so this file (.bak) so he was no longer executable. By doing sudo update-grub all the files that are present in the /etc/grub.d and are executable are taken in the grub.cfg file, what caused the problem.
