OK, thanks Timo. I guess this explains things. But let me suggest to modify the comments in menu.lst so that a human being not familiar with the update process might actually understand them:
### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST ## lines between the AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST markers will be modified ## by the debian update-grub script except for the default options below That's pretty clear (at least now), but I guess one could add something like "manual changes will be lost during the next upgrade". "Modified" doesn't sound dramatic enough, if you know what I mean. -- Kernel update hoses grub's menu.lst https://launchpad.net/bugs/75712 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
