Hi, just ran into the same problem. The problem originates in line 330 of /usr/sbin/update-grub (grub-legacy 0.97-64): ----- echo -n "Searching for default file ... " >&2 if [ -f "$default_file" ] ; then echo "found: $default_file" >&2 else echo "Generating $default_file file and setting the default boot entry to 0" >&2 if [ -f /usr/lib/grub-legacy/grub-set-default ] ; then /usr/lib/grub-legacy/grub-set-default $1 else grub-set-default $1 fi fi ---- Notice that update-grub calls grub-set-default passing the first positional argument instead of 0 (as per the log message). This part of the code lies in update-grub's main body, so it actually passes the first positional argument of update-grub itself to grub-set-default. In other words, running `update-grub 0' works. I don't know if this was intentional or not, but it is clearly a behaviour change from lenny's version and also not documented anywhere.
