Ok. Did a few more installs and figured out what the issue is. I'm old
school linux so I've had a dedicated boot partition. When grub does its'
updating it sees the same kernel and somehow points all linux entries to
the last installed linux. sudo update-grub does not resolve this.
When I do this without a dedicated /boot partition sudo update-grub is
able to find the separate linuxes and fixes the boot menu.
Steps to reproduce
1. install lucid using a dedicated partition for /boot
2. install mythbuntu, kubuntu, fedora, ....
Result
grub menu that has the correct number of entries, but they all set the root
partition to the last installed.
