I suggest that there are actually two issues worth separating in this
bug report:
1. The original post about the default kernel changing away from Windows
2. The noisier issue about manually editing kernels in the AUTOMAGIC
section of the file
Both can be fixed by a better understanding
The correct way to edit this file is documented in comments in the file
itself. That said, it is a cumbersome and error-prone procedure. The
grub-configuration-improvements specification proposes a reasonably
straightforward (if not necessarily pretty) approach to protecting users
from shooting
And yet another kernel update which broke menu.lst! I think this ought
to be a more prioritized fix. I don't know what needs to be done to
correct writing a new menu.lst every time the kernel is updated. but it
even takes out the windows portion of menu.lst. That has to be added
back as well
Same thing here.
The kernel updater changed all root entries to 0,0 and completely removed my
windows boot option from menu.lst
I too had to manually change the boot line, then menu.lst

Same kind of thing here.
Every time the kernel updates (only as of the last couple of months) it
puts my Ubuntu down as hdd(2,0) when it's actually hdd(0,0). Editing the
boot line and then menu.lst fix the problem until the next update.

I am facing this problem in all Ubuntu releases. I have two SATA and one
IDE hard disks. I use Smart Boot Manager to boot the system for multiple
Operating Systems. Grub resides in Ubuntu partition. I found that Grub
and Ubuntu installer do not agree about the sequence in which the drives
are
From my experience, when a new kernel is updated, it doesn't even update
the old menu.lst. It reads kernels installed on the computer writes a
new one with them in the list and the newest on top. I have a computer
with 4 hard drives. 1st hdd is Windows XP, 3rd is Ubuntu. The other two

Same issue here (Feisty Fawn), I loose the correct UUID every time grub
updates the menu.lst file. This was triggered after I replaced the
system disk with another disk... ever since I get into problem with the
menu.lst file.
I do not understand the Problem solved quote above, but then again it
Problem solved (unconfirmed but likely)
in my menu.lst file I had 2 different kopt options defined. These
referred to my old UUID, one was a general kopt (affecting all changes)
and one was just affecting 2.6 versions of kernels.

I just experienced this. Yesterday's (2007-06-09) kernel update replaced
my menu.lst with what seems to be the version created on install. I have
since upgraded my hard-drive and the root is on a different partition
and has a different volume id. After the kernel update all changes were
gone and
I forgot to mention but the above comments are regarding Feisty.

Problem solved.
After installing a new kernel., dpkg runs update-grub. Read the man page, as
seen there, it checks the kernel files under /boot as well as the defaults set
up in menu.lst one of them being groot (hd0,8) This of course in my case has
to be edited to reflect the new partitioning.
I compiled a custom kernel (2.6.21-rcX) using make-kpkg, and then
installed the deb files (image and headers). The menu.lst wasnt updated
to make the new kernel the default, so I change the file manually. A bit
later I had some problems with the kernel so I remove it (using
aptitude), and again
I have a similar problem.
The update writes hd0,0 instead of hd0,2 in the menu.lst. I have to
correct this manually, then it works fine.
I have upgraded to Kubuntu Feisty AMD64 when this happened.

Kernel updater doesn't update grub's menu,lst correctly
Hello !
I also have a similar problem, probably it has the same cause:
I manually edited my menu.lst to open console in framebuffer and I
removed the use of splash and quiet (I like to see the lines flying
while kernel is booting ;)) ... After kernel update (Ubuntu 6.10,
standard updater), grub
I opened ticket #5167.
After updating the kernel using adept, the entries in grub for my kernel revert
to root (hd0,8) Which was correct up until I deleted a couple of partitions
(I was quad booting before with fedora and opensuse). Now this line needs to
read (hd0,5) which can be edited
I have been also affected by this bug...
I manually edited (with minor changes) menu.lst and on the next kernel update,
menu.lst came back to its original form...
Since the first time, I have manually re-edited menu.lst on each
upgrade... It seems like the updater doesn't checks whether menu.lst
Could you please add the full contents of your menu.lst file as
attachments to this bug report? Thanks.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. Could you provide us with the exact command you used to install
the new kernel? In addition which version of Ubuntu are you using?
Thanks in advance.

I'm using Ubuntu 6.10. The update was done using the standard auto-
updater tool.
