Public bug reported:
For bizarre reasons my notebook has the hard drive as the secondary
master and the CD-ROM drive as the primary master. This means that my
CD-ROM drive is hda and my hard drive is hdc. Upon updating the kernel
from a security patch, menu.lst got overwritten with an assumption that
my boot drive was /dev/hda. All references to /dev/hdc2 (the root
partition) were studiously rewritten to /dev/hda2. This is a bit
bizarre in that it seemed to be careful to keep my partitions correct
(it kept the "2"), but changed the drive around for no observably good
reason from c to a.
This happened on the most recent set of updates for Dapper 6.06LTS.
** Affects: Ubuntu
Importance: Untriaged
Status: Unconfirmed

After kernel update, system cannot boot because menu.lst hacked badly.
