I just unstalled 11.04 Last Night with all of Last Night Updates. What I saw is that in Startup Manager (SUM) it was seeing 7 Boot Options while the GRUB is only seeing 6.
SUM is setting the Boot Option to 6 vs 5 which is out of range (I believe) from what GRUB is seeing so GRUB defaults to it's default 1st selection. I also couldn't seen to be able to use sudo to edit the /etc/default/grub file And, ended up setting the root password and logging in as root and manually changing the default system to 5, which works.
