Updates to menu.lst are done according to the AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST -part of the same file -- the option you should be looking for is groot, if I remember correctly: You should probably have something like this there: --- ## default grub root device # groot=(hd0,3) --- Can you check if this is the case, and do you know if it was correct before? -- Linux-image upgrade messes up menu.1st https://launchpad.net/bugs/84289 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
