Kernel Upgrade but Previous Kernel Running

[Scott(0)]

After updating the kernel (at the command line, to kernel 4.4.0-87-generic), grub will default to the previous kernel (4.4.0-86-generic) on boot.

To fix this, enter into grub advanced options at boot, and select kernel 4.4.0-87-generic or the most current kernel listed.

This has happend twice. Now and on the previous kernel update but not before that.

One method to check this:
In a terminal type

Code:

ls /boot/ | grep vmlinuz

and then

Code:

uname -r

the uname -r value should match the most current kernel in the previous list.

These troubleshooting steps didn't help:
1. Shutdown vs Restart when rebooting
2. Running update-grub
