What actually happens, is that the update keeps the 0.9x grub, but updates the format of /boot/grub/menu.lst to a format which seems to me to be a bit less human-friendly, using hex labels like in recent installer-created versions of /etc/fstab. So I did let the upgrade happen, finally.
I would assume that there's a new process for updating the 'old' menu.lst. On Wed, Oct 7, 2009 at 8:41 AM, Lars Wirzenius <[email protected]> wrote: > Yeah, that should happen.
