When I installed 7.10 over 7.04, I made no changes to the partitions.
Part of the problem may be a confusion over whether to start the
partition numbering at 1 or 0. The fdisk listing is attached.
sda4 is what I called the Dell Restore partition in previous messages.

DF Morrow, can you please attach the output from: sudo fdisk -l
I do not understand why the partition numbering changed from step 4 to 7 and

not a bug, since grub only uses the partition numbering given to it by

DF Marrow, I agree. It is related to another bug I've been looking at:
Bug #108554 "update leaves bootloader unable to find root partition"
In your circumstances I suspect the unexpected "Dell Restore" primary
partition *after* the Extended partition is part of the issue. The

I'm not sure this is a duplicate. In bug 8497, the reported problems
all involved multiple hard disk systems where the wrong hard disk number
was assigned in menu.lst. In this case there was only one hard disk a
