I have an SATA with one hard drive running Windows XP Professional and I have a PATA with a DVD Burner and the hard drive I have Ubuntu Feisty installed on. Here is a small sample of my menu.lst:
... ## ## End Default Options ## title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-13-generic root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-13-generic root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.20-13-generic quiet savedefault title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-13-generic (recovery mode) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-13-generic root=/dev/sda1 ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.20-13-generic title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-12-generic root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-12-generic root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.20-12-generic quiet savedefault title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-12-generic (recovery mode) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-12-generic root=/dev/sda1 ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.20-12-generic ... When I upgraded my Edgy to Feisty it would not boot because it replaced all of the sda1 in the menu.lst with hda1. Then when I updated from 2.6.20-12 to 2.6.20-13 once again it replaced all of the sda1 with hda1 so once again I had to manually edit menu.lst to get it to boot again. I can understand why it keeps changing it to hda1 since I am booting off of and running linux on a Paralell ATA IDE drive but hda1 won't boot while sda1 will. My SATA drive with Windows on it might cause my PATA drives to be labeled sda instead of hda, I don't know all I know is I have to manually edit my menu.lst after each update in order to boot. Unrelated: after upgrading to 2.6.20-13 and then manually editing menu.lst, I can boot the 2.6.20-12 kernel but still can't boot the 2.6.20-13 kernel (get a tty error). -- Ubuntu Automatic Update of prebuilt kernel changes the hdd in grub menu.lst https://launchpad.net/bugs/31903 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
