I'm running Ubuntu 8.04. Naturally, there's been a few kernel updates over the last few months. But my menu.lst file hasn't been updating. I'm still running Linux ubuntu 2.6.24-17 even though /boot/ is listing up to 2.6.24.21, the last of which I got this morning. And even after manually running update-grub, although it lists all the kernels, it doesn't actually update menu.lst.
I was able to manually edit menu.1st and that worked. Also, after making a backup of menu.lst, deleting it from /boot/grub/, and then running update-grub, it created a proper menu.lst. But I'm wondering if this is happening to anyone else on this list. There seems to be a bug about it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/202009 On the other hand, after creating a proper menu.lst and rebooting with the latest kernel, it didn't boot normally, and went into some kind of safe mode with limited graphics. I only tested that with this morning's kernel update (I'd do further testing, but continually rebooting my computer is annoying ;). Just reverted back to 2.6.24.17 and all is well again. I'm guessing that's a separate issue, but I'm not too concerned about it since *.17 is fine with me. Still, thought I'd mention it in case someone knew something.
