Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub
I've got an ext4 setup before any Ubuntu support for this, and hence
needed to create a separate boot partition (since Grub didn't know how
to boot from an ext4 partition).
This means that the correct paths to kernel etc.. in my menu.lst file
begin with /<foo> rather than /boot/<foo>
update-grub sometimes wants to replace my menu.lst with one having
/boot/ prefixing each filename.
Specifically, when I edit any non-default options in the menu.lst, such
as adding options to the kernel command line, the next run of update-
grub will prompt to ask if I want to replace the menu.lst file with that
of the package maintainer.
Doing so doesn't actually delete my edited options, just re-writes the
paths with /boot in front of them. I can then happily hand-edit the
/boot part of the paths out, and update-grub seems happy enough with
them - not prompting to replace the config file this time.
** Affects: grub (Ubuntu)
