I've just updated again the kernel and the update-grub bug is still happens. Today (07/06/08) I've updated the system through update manager and the kernel was updated to 2.6.24.18.20. Then ucf ask for an option about what to do with menu.lst option, and i selected 1st (used the new proposed or

The ucf changes in 0.97-29ubuntu7 seem to have broken some update-grub workflows. In gutsy and before, you could setup a basic menu.list containing update-grub options but no kernels, run update-grub, and get your kernels correctly added to the menu.lst file. Now, if a menu.lst exists at all

To get Windows (or any other OS) to appear first in the list, it is necessary to add it BEFORE the Automagic section, which is before all the Options and example comments, which is less than ideal. It would be OK to have an Ubuntu section with all its kernels, as long as you can add entries
