Yes, I edited menu.lst. I didn't actually put the hardy-kernel line there, but 
I did have to make lots of changes to accomodate my 2-disk dual-boot 
configuration.

Yes, agreed. The bootup with an old kernel, but an otherwise newer OS, creates 
a hard-to-diagnose situation where the system mostly works but has lots of 
tricky bugs.  It's OK to give a warning rather than actually refuse to boot. 

This bug may be a matter more for grub than update manager, as the
warning should be issued whether or not update-manager edited menu.lst

update-manager/grub should warn about old kernels ahead of the automatically 
generated ones
