Nimex - Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
As for the 'root' option being changed during a kernel upgrade - this is because the kernel upgrade calls 'update-grub' 'update-grub' automatically populates your menu.lst based on the options between the lines "## ## Start Default Options ##" and "## ## End Default Options ##". The reason your 'root' option is populated with the wrong option is most likely due to the line beginning with "# groot=" pointing to the wrong device, as this is what defines what the 'root' option is populated with. ** Changed in: grub (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson) Status: New => Incomplete -- "grub stage1.5 error 17" after restart https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/130280 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
