Vladimir spotted something else which might be relevant. If the problem persists after upgrading to 1.98+20100602-2, could you also edit /etc/grub.d/00_header (as root)? You'll find one line as follows: set saved_entry=\${prev_saved_entry} Change that to: set saved_entry="\${prev_saved_entry}" Then you'll find another line as follows: saved_entry=\${chosen} Change that to: saved_entry="\${chosen}" Then run update-grub as root, and see if that fixes things.
