[Bug 103297] Re: Kernel updater doesn't update grub's menu, lst correctly

[Upendran]

I am facing this problem in all Ubuntu releases. I have two SATA and one
IDE hard disks. I use Smart Boot Manager to boot the system for multiple
Operating Systems. Grub resides in Ubuntu partition. I found that Grub
and Ubuntu installer do not agree about the sequence in which the drives
are enumerated. There is a confusion in deciding whether SATA or IDE
drives are to be enumerated first. After every kernel upgrade menu.lst
file has to be manually edited to correct the problem. I have noticed
that Fedora, Suse and Mandrake releases do not have this conflict.

[Bug 16824] Re: incorrect groot setting after installation

[Upendran]

This problem occurs when both SATA and IDE drives are installed. This
continues in 6.06 LTS.

While installing SATA drives are counted first followed by IDE drives.

In menu.lst the assignment is reversed.

This problem does not occurr in Fedora, Suse and Mandriva. It may be
noted that these distros allow to explicitly specify location of boot
loader.

An average user is unlikely to to have a mixture of hard drives.
