[Bug 470490] Re: Grub does not update menu.lst when it was hand-edited (so it defaults to old 2.6.28 kernel after upgrade to ubuntu 9.10 from 9.04)

2009-11-05 Thread LimCore
Steve, btw, there are many bugs, like cryptsetup-no-prompt-needs-
nosplash or sound-driver-needs-kernel-option afair, and cstate cpu c3
bug - that are fixed (or worked around) by certain kernel options.

That is certainly true, but rather than modifying the menu items
directly, the recommended mechanism to do so with grub 1 in ubuntu is
to edit '# kopt=' line or the '# defoptions=' line in the AUTOMAGIC
KERNELS comment section and re-run update-grub so that it regenerates
the menu entries. Doing so also means that on kernel updates, the
same options will be applied to the menu entries for the new kernels.
