[Bug 290140] Re: menu.lst not updated after kernel update
Jan, those lines are created by grub-installer as part of the installation process. A more interesting question is why you ended up with lilo instead of grub when installing jaunty; lilo is only used by default in certain disk configurations where grub is known to not work reliably. Anyway, the original submitter says this is no longer a problem for him, so I'm closing this bug - there's no sense in leaving a bug open with such a generic description, it just becomes a magnet for twenty different bugs. ** Changed in: grub (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- menu.lst not updated after kernel update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290140 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 290140] Re: menu.lst not updated after kernel update
I just had this very same issue after installing Jaunty from the alternate disk and afterwards switching to grub (I hate LILO). I just today found that there were these two lines missing in the file /etc/kernel-img.conf: postinst_hook = update-grub postrm_hook = update-grub I have no idea where those lines should have come from, but after inserting them into that file the update-grub skript was called.

[Bug 290140] Re: menu.lst not updated after kernel update
I think I have experienced this problem upgrading from 'hardy' to 'intrepid'. It seems that the grub update step isn't synchronised with the installation of the new kernel, and the generation of a new initramfs. In my case, I ended up with a menu.lst that listed the new kernel, but did not have a corresponding initrd line for it. The menu.lst was generated at a time when the kernel image was there, but the initramfs had not yet been created. The new kernel would not boot. Fortunately an old one would. -- menu.lst not updated after kernel update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290140 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Charlie, you're inferring that the original submitter's problem is the same as yours but there is no evidence of that.

[Bug 290140] Re: menu.lst not updated after kernel update
I have found this to happen upgrading from Xubuntu 8.10 to Xubuntu Jaunty Jackalope. I have three hard drives installed, all PATA. I installed Xubuntu 8.10 to sdc, before installing jaunty to sdb. When I run the upgrade, all items upgrade as expected with no errors. When the system is restarted, the grub menu has not changed from before the upgrade. Selecting sdc to boot into from the menu does boot into Jaunty on sdc, but the grub menu is never updated. All installations have been told to install grub to the MBR of the first boot device. I believe there is enough information to confirm this report. ** Changed in: grub (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium Status: Incomplete => Triaged -- menu.lst not updated after kernel update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290140 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
