Firstly, after the initial encounter of the problem, I run update-grub as root, and the problem was solved. To answer your question I reproduced the problem by a) removing menu.lst b) reinstalling the current lenny linux-image from Synaptic Problem occurs again. Installation stalls, and Synaptic must be killed because ctrl-c just gets you in a loop of prompts about recreating menu.lst I kill synaptic, and run bash -x update-grub -y + memtest86names='memtest86 memtest86+' + test '!' xtrue = xfalse + for name in '$memtest86names' + test -f /boot/memtest86.bin + for name in '$memtest86names' + test -f /boot/memtest86+.bin + echo '###' END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST + echo -n 'Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... ' Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... + grep -q '^### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST' /boot/grub/menu.lst + cat /tmp/fileSkSJrP + rm -f /tmp/fileSkSJrP + '[' '' = true ']' + test -z yes + echo done done + echo update-grub worked (again) when called from the shell. > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
