Is this possible at all? I have always copied the new lines from /media/os_ubuntu/boot/grub/menu.lst to /boot/grub/menu.lst. (Supposing I'm at 64studio, have my ubuntu partition mounted at /media/os_ubuntu and the active grub menu is located in the 64 Studio partition). I just check that these new lines are exactly the same than the automatically added ubuntu lines except for the version number of the kernel. (I'm 90% sure that it will always be so as long as you have only one hard disk and the partitions are named by UUID). > > Also, does anyone know what is the accepted method of installing a new > kernel with Ubuntu 8.10 ?

If I update it, it's the ubuntu's menu.lst which is updated, never the one of the other OS. I then copy the lines to the active menu.lst as said above. Strange that it fails to auto-update, I don't know. In this case, i.e. if the menu.lst of ubuntu doesn't update I leave it alone but I edit the active menu.lst in 64studio, copy the lines from the original ubuntu kernel to new lines and edit only the kernel version numbers.

I just wanted to share my experience with you. You are a teacher to me and I wish you well. I hope the 64studio 3.0 installer asks if you want to write to the MBR or not. Cheers! Pablo
