I've just tried this a couple of times - grub still picks the first
kernel in the list instead of the one I've specified using grub-reboot.
FWIW, at least there are no error messages anymore - but the overall
behavior is still in error, since grub boots the wrong kernel.
Here is a "screen capture" showing what happens at the command line:
$ sudo grub-reboot 2

Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.

the first word, TAB lists possible command
completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
completions of a device/filename. ]
grub> savedefault --once --default=2
grub> quit
Do you want to reboot now? [y/N] y
I choose yes, grub-reboot reboots the system without further
informational or error messages, but instead of the 3rd kernel on this
(3-1=2), I get the first one. FWIW, I've attached my
/boot/grub/menu.lst.
Also FYI, this system is no longer dual-boot, Windows was toasted a long
time ago, so this isn't pressing, but it is annoying.
