Public bug reported:
I am using Ubuntu 9.10 with GRUB boot manager and regularly update the system
via update-manager.
Every time when updates contain new kernel, update-manager asks me whether to
keep local menu.lst or install one supplied by package maintaner. I always
select the second option.
At next boot my system can't start because of wrong menu.lst. The
problem is in 'root" directive in this file. After update it becomes
"root (hd1,2)" while the right string for my system is "root
(hd1,1)". Every time after such update I manually change this string in
menu.lst to "root (hd1,1)" and the system works well again.
With this bug-report I attached "good" and "bad" menu.lst as well as my
partition configuration. /dev/sda is my primary hard drive, /dev/sda7 is
mounted on "/". Grub is installed in MBR of /dev/sda and its files
reside on /dev/sdb2 wich is mounted on "/boot". menu.lst resides at
"/boot/grub/menu.lst"
