Regarding the original bug: the diff between the ucf cache and /boot/grub/menu.lst shows that the menu.lst "automagic kernel list" had been hand-modified in the past, and at a previous ucf prompt you opted to "keep the local version currently installed". If no other changes are made to the menu.lst, the setting is sticky, so further system- provided changes to the menu.lst will also be ignored without re- prompting.
I think this is by design, with the current grub package. The problem, as I see it, is that there's no simple way to force a re-prompt with ucf, so that the user can revisit this decision. That's definitely a bug. To force a reprompt in this case (and get the resulting config that you want as well), you should be able to add: # kopt_2_6_27_11_generic=root=UUID=d73b6252-08ff-4920-b197-7b5492045931 ro rootdelay=90 to your menu.lst "magic options" section, and re-run 'sudo update-grub' and get the desired outcome. -- grub/menu.list left unupdated after upgrade to Jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/363049 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
