Sorry Peter, I wasn't subscribed to this bug and forgot this. This is probably not a problem after so many months, but just in case it still is: Please read the menu.lst-file, it is quite well documented (although I admit the file format is just weird). The groot-line is _not_ a comment, update-grub uses it to build rest of the file (things between the AUTOMAGIC-markers). So yes, you should modify that to suit your system.
I'm marking this invalid. ** Changed in: linux-source-2.6.17 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- Linux-image upgrade messes up menu.1st https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84289 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
