Ubuntu 9.04, Kernel 2.6.28-15 Generic (recovery mode)

    I believe you need to edit your menu.lst file to remove options you don't care for. I THINK there's an option to edit it in GUI, but I don't recall.

    Not 100%, but start with your menu.lst and come back if that's not it.

    Snark is correct, you can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst using any text editor. You can also install startupmanager from the repositories and use that to remove the old entries. Or you can leave it alone. It's really not hurting anything by being there.
