Is there a flag in > menu.lst that stops it resetting? I'm not aware of a flag to reset to defaults. Did you delete any of the lines in menu.lst, or did you just edit them for your post? Excerpt from /sbin/update-grub: ># Magic markers we use >start="### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST" >end="### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST" > >startopt="## ## Start Default Options ##" >endopt="## ## End Default Options ##" I'm guessing you removed one or more of the "magic markers", so update-grub restored the defaults. I don't try to trim the file, I just edit the lines beginning with only one hash and leave the rest alone. Kevin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
