Public bug reported:
Whenever I upgrade a kernel on one of my boxes, file /boot/grub/menu.lst
contains incorrect "root" entries, which results in machine not being able to
boot by itselt.
Correct line:
root (hd0,0)
Incorrect line:
root (hd2,0)
Workaround is easy (menu.lst needs to be manually edited after kernel
upgrade, I can also edit this thing after an error pops up while machine
boots), although it could be a very serious problem for most people.
Several things I could point up:
* I'm not 100% sure, but I think the problem started appearing in Breezy (I
started with hoary and never re-installed, it's been dist-upgrade every time a
new version was released).
* It's a SATA drive. Please tell me if you need specific information (and how
to get it, I'm not able to do it myself without asking/searching for it).
* This particular combination of mobo and hdd causes hdd to perform poorly in
some aspects (much slower than IDE drives that I have).
** Affects: Ubuntu
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
